Participants have marched from Cal Anderson Park in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood to the Henry M. Jackson Federal building in downtown Seattle. Many are carrying signs with phrases including, “Immigration rights are human right.”
“We’re here to say, ICE out of Seattle. ICE out of everywhere,” one protester told KIRO Newsradio. “Stop the raids and stop the deportations.”

SPD is warning neighbors and businesses operating in these neighborhoods that there is a chance small, unaffiliated groups will join the event in order to commit acts of violence, according to KIRO 7.
Officers also warned that this protest could lead to lane closures, depending on both the size of the march and its course of direction.
KIRO Newsradio is at the scene. Another rally at Cal Anderson Park has been planned for Saturday, June 14, at 12 p.m.

No federal government interference, local leaders say
Local leaders of Washington said they expect police to handle protests with professionalism and without “interference from the federal government.”
Governor Bob Ferguson, King County Executive Shannon Braddock, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, Pierce County Executive Ryan Mello, and Tacoma Mayor Victoria Woodards put out a joint statement Wednesday afternoon condemning President Donald Trump for sending the National Guard to California despite objections from its governor.
Ferguson signed a bill into law on April 21 that restricts out-of-state military forces from entering Washington.
The law went into effect immediately due to an emergency clause.
