Community Meeting regarding legal observers to ICE

[Snohomish County Democrats]

Dear Democrats,
 
Recently in Lynnwood there was gathering of over 50 uniformed officials form Immigration and Customs Enforcement Office. This organization is described as follows:
 
 "Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is the largest investigative arm of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and is                responsible for identifying and dismantling vulnerabilities regarding the nation's border, economic, transportation and infrastructure security. ICE is charged with the enforcement of over 400 federal statutes within the United States and maintains attaches at major U.S. embassies overseas. As such, ICE Special Agents arguably possess the broadest investigative authority within the United States Government."
 
ICE is striking fear in to the hearts of many, especially our minority community of color. This linked with the recent visit to Snohomish County by the founder of the minuteman organization  Jim Gilchrist Snohomish County is becoming less safe for the common man. How do we combat the draconian efforts of this ICE and the minute men? We become legal observers. Help us prevent our rights being abrogated.   
 
First they come for the people who look different then they came for you and me. Stop them now! Come and learn how to be a legal observer.
