City of Seattle Mayor videos

Mayor Bruce Harrell, joined by Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA) Director Hamdi Mohamed and community leaders, signed two Executive Orders focused on preparedness and coordination in the event of unilateral troop deployment and protecting immigrant and refugee communities. The first Executive Order protects local communities and control over law enforcement resources in the event that National Guard troops are deployed to Seattle. The second Executive Order strengthens services and protections for immigrant and refugee communities, including strategies to address the use of unmarked, masked federal agents conducting immigration enforcement raids.
