Dear Representative,
Communities are stronger and safer when people are not forced to live in fear. I am writing regarding SB-5906. United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and United States Customs and Border Protection (CPB) has been operating in communities without judicial warrants and targeting people who are Brown, Black, and Asian. This bill protects sensitive spaces. It ensures Washingtonians can go to school and go to medical appointments without fear. People need to feel safe in places where they learn, heal, and vote.
- This bill outlines that federal officers must a valid judicial warrant, judicial subpoena, or a court order before they are allowed to enter a non-public area of an early childcare facility, school site or medical facility.
- It is the job of child care facilities to exhaust the emergency contact procedures provided by the families and guardians of the children.
- Unless required by state or federal law, a health care facility and its personnel may not allow any person access to the nonpublic areas of the facility for immigration enforcement purposes, unless the person has a valid judicial warrant or court order that specifically grants access to the nonpublic areas of the facility.
- During primaries, general elections, and special elections, a county auditor shall designate as nonpublic any place where ballots are handled, processed, counted, or tabulated. Federal agents will also be required valid warrants to enter these areas as well.
I am fully in agreement with this bill. I am asking you to vote YES for this bill. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Summer D Clemenson
