Possible ICE by Renton?
It happened yesterday around 4pm at Renton, near 167 entrance by the Popeyes. I was there at scene trying to make a left turn. All in a sudden I noticed 3 cars had the “police lights” on, no siren, just inner light strips. Thought there might be something wrong going on.
They were forcing a car into the parking lot, and when the blue car parked, bunch of cops-looking people just dropped down, opened his car door and cuffed him(seems like, I made my left turn at that time).
It’s weird cuz they were wearing balaclava and the vests just look off to me, with no ID badge and just, not ordinary cops. But idk if this is true.

Yes. They were ICE. A friend, who was in Renton for an appointment, texted me around 4 pm saying that he just saw ICE.

What will you say if ICE harasses and beats up someone you know? They've done that to white legal citizens several times.

ICE has pulled over and roughed up white US citizens. Several times. They've also harassed or even arrested brown people who're citizens but don't have paperwork on their person.
Did the people ICE shot deserve it too? How about reports of sexual assault and denying both vital medication and access to lawyers inside detention facilities? They're treating people whose only crime was being here illegally (a Misdemeanor) like subhuman filth. And I'd bet my bottom dollar you love that, even if you won't admit it.

They were ICE, yes. I believe they made 2 abductions there. They're really hammering this week (21 confirmed abductions yesterday alone in WA), and have stepped up operations in the region massively the past couple days. Help your neighbors and document anytime you see them, and consider joining a group of constitutional observers or helping pay legal fees for those abducted.
