Hundreds of noncitizens facing deportation were told to check in at their field office in Tukwila, but when they showed up, the office was closed.
A demonstration is taking place Saturday night on 2nd Avenue and Madison Street, as protesters are blocking all southbound and westbound lanes in the process.
Most of the evening was peaceful, with a few protesters turning to vandalism in a tight area -- actions that brought police to move in closer and ultimately work to disperse the crowd.
Thousands of people nationwide have shown up at protests and rallies opposing ICE raids as unrest grows in response to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
Two “ No Kings ” rallies are planned for Saturday, one at Cal Anderson Park and the other at UW. They are meant to run opposite to President Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington, D.C., according to Axios Seattle.
