Hundreds of noncitizens facing deportation were told to check in at their field office in Tukwila, but when they showed up, the office was closed.
Protesters fanned across Seattle as part of the national No Kings demonstrations opposing President Donald Trump's immigration raids and ICE policies.
During the “No Kings” march, armed Antifa swarmed a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) facility in Tukwila. They assaulted cops with frozen water bottles and journalists, including Brandi Kruse, with mace. Tukwila Police and an ICE Special Response Team were forced to use tear gas to disperse the violent mob.
At least two immigrants were detained by ICE following an unusual order to meet with authorities in Tukwila, sparking outrage among protesters.
Thousands of people nationwide have shown up at protests and rallies opposing ICE raids as unrest grows in response to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
A demonstration is taking place Saturday night on 2nd Avenue and Madison Street, as protesters are blocking all southbound and westbound lanes in the process.
Most of the evening was peaceful, with a few protesters turning to vandalism in a tight area -- actions that brought police to move in closer and ultimately work to disperse the crowd.
