Lynnwood passes resolution in response to ICE activity
EVERETT — The Lynnwood City Council unanimously approved a resolution Monday outlining the city’s response to increased immigration enforcement nationwide.
The resolution reaffirms that city property cannot be used for civil immigration enforcement, directs the mayor and police chief to provide clarity on city policies to staff and the community, and directs city staff to create a more robust database of resources related to immigration.
Mata first brought the resolution to the council in February, following the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis.
“It’s really important that we reaffirm what we believe in as a community during a time when people are being threatened, people are scared and people need to know that on a local level, their leaders care and are going to do everything they can to protect them,” said council member Isabel Mata, who drafted the resolution, on Monday.
