Seattle’s communist Mayor Katie Wilson has announced plans to mobilize the city’s police force to gather intelligence on ICE agents conducting immigration enforcement operations and share that information with “community partners” on the streets.

Wilson said she will also bar federal immigration officers from utilizing city-controlled property, “including parks, parking lots, plazas, vacant lots, garages, and Seattle Center – for civil immigration enforcement.”

The mayor urged other local government entities, including the Seattle School District and Seattle Municipal Court, to adopt similar restrictions.

“Whoever you are, and wherever you come from: if Seattle is your home, then this is your city,” Wilson said in a statement.

Specifically, the mayor directed the Seattle Police Department “to investigate, verify, and document reports of immigration enforcement activity.”

Under the mayor’s plan, if a federal immigration enforcement operation is underway in the city, officers will be sent to the location to document the activity “with in-car and body-worn video, verify the identification of apparent federal agents, and secure scenes of potentially unlawful acts to gather evidence for prosecutors,” KOMO News reported.

Additionally, the city will mandate “closer cooperation between departments and community [anti-ICE] organizations, sharing information through a hotline operated by a community-led partner to connect residents with resources and support.”

Wilson also announced the launch of the Stand Together Seattle Initiative, inviting private property owners to post notices stating that federal agents may not access their property without a warrant.

City employees will receive training on how to report and respond to federal law enforcement activity and “conduct privacy reviews to limit potential data exposure, including reviewing data-sharing agreements in vendor contracts.”

The self-identified Democrat-Socialist said the city will allocate $4 million, previously appropriated by the City Council, to left-wing organizations providing legal defense to illegal aliens and “community support.”

Wilson urged the city to move quickly to organize and “keep people safe.”

Seattle Police Chief Shon Barnes said officers will continue to focus on public safety regardless of immigration status and comply with laws barring participation in immigration enforcement. While the department has no authority over federal agents or policies, Barnes said officers will document incidents if notified.

“The Seattle Police Department’s primary responsibility is the life safety of all people,” he said.
