WA Immigrant Solidarity Network hit by mass layoffs amid ICE surge
Original: WA Immigrant Solidarity Network gutted by mass layoffs as ICE surges
The Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network has carried out mass layoffs, gutting much of its staff, according to the Seattle Times. The cuts come as US Immigration and Customs Enforcement intensifies arrest operations in Washington state, straining the coalition of organizations that runs hotlines, knows-your-rights training and rapid-response support for immigrants facing detention.
Why now: Federal immigration enforcement is surging in Washington, and the main state immigrant support coalition just lost much of its capacity.
