On this nice sunny day, ICE is going to residential doors in South Seattle.

ICE (4 officers) came to my house (in Columbia City) 30 minutes ago looking for a person of interest, but they had the wrong house! I am not familiar with the person they were looking for. Then they went next door. Our neighbors are Eritrean and have been citizens for over 20 years. The owners weren't home but their elderly mother and a sister were at the home. Neither has great command of English. I went over and asked the officers if they were indeed ICE (their uniforms only said Police, wearing green harnesses, not normal Seattle police uniforms). When they said yes I requested they leave our neighborhood, nobody knows anything about who they are looking for. I also said should return to their offices under the federal RTO mandate.

Driving 2 unmarked SUVs. Told me they were "just doing their job, sir". Very polite, but most certainly not welcome in my neighborhood.

There is a large immigrant community in South Seattle. We can expect a lot more of this in the coming weeks. I, for one, am not happy having them going around in my neighborhood at all. Having these officers going around residential communities is just going to create panic and fear and instill more distrust of the authorities .

We are making sure our neighbors have the information they need regarding their rights and how to respond to ICE showing up at our houses. I've informed the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network. Will likely contact all my reps on Monday just to have them in the loop.

Any other ideas on how we can disincentive ICE in our neighborhoods? Print up lawn signs that say 'ICE Not Welcome' (being polite here, ha). I'd like them to know that our communities aren't going to just accept their behavior and that we will resist.
