Bellevue -”Washington’s “sanctuary state” policy is a motley combination of a single law and multiple executive orders and bureaucratic rules. The law-which was deceitfully called the “Keep Washington Working Act”-prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from cooperating with federal agencies to enforce immigration law. The executive orders mandate that various state agencies treat illegal aliens in Washington as if they were citizens. And the state bureaucratic rules, in some cases, actually give illegal aliens preferential treatment-ahead of legal immigrants and citizens.
While WA politicians Governor Bob Ferguson, Attorney General Nick Brown, and Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell encourage lawlessness by supporting “sanctuary policies,” Rep. Buddy Carter, R-GA, has introduced the ERIC ADAMS Act to hold sanctuary city mayors accountable when illegal aliens living in their jurisdictions are found guilty of murder.
During the Biden Administration in D.C., the federal government turned a blind eye toward state laws and policies that undermined or dishonored federal immigration law. This was consistent with the Biden Administration’s de facto “open border” immigration policy. And it encouraged more lawlessness on immigration issues among our state’s executive branch and bureaucratic agencies.
Of course, the new Trump Administration is taking a much different approach. It has reversed the “open border” policy and is proactively enforcing long-standing immigration law. This puts the executive branch and bureaucratic agencies here in our Washington in a tough spot. They’ve grown accustomed to dishonoring federal law. And now they face a federal government that doesn’t enable that lawlessness.
