August 11th: Mobilization Against ICE (Tacoma)

 ICE Raid In Shelton Results in 25 Detained

Today, Aug. 10th, 25 workers were detained in Shelton by the Mason County Sheriff. They were clearing brush from a field but ended up working in the wrong field. Somehow the police found out and went to where they were working. There, they detained 25 people and took them to Mason County Jail, where they are currently being held. They will be taken to the ICE Detention Facility in Tacoma either tonight or tomorrow.

We are meeting in front of the Tacoma Federal Building (directions below) tomorrow, Aug. 11th, at 2 PM. Those planning on being there should come with supplies (signs, megaphones, ideas, desires, puppets, etc.) and be ready to do what they want. Those wishing to do something (make a speech, distribute liturature, propose a plan, etc.) should come prepared. This just happened today and we are doing the best that we can, given the circumstances.

Report Back From Olympia Anti-Police Rally And March

 I wrote an article earlier regarding the arrest of two individuals in Olympia. After writing that article, another anarchist was arrested. This arrest bore many resemblances to the previous ones. Some, not all, have been given the impression that the police are targeting certain people, people whose names have been made public numerous times.

Democrats Kill Democracy: Ironic, Isn’t It?

 A few weeks ago, I met with Representative Adam Smith (D-WA) to ask why he does not support impeachment. His view was that many Presidents violated the Constitution, so what was the big deal? Besides, he said, Bush and Cheney will be repudiated in the 2008 election.
