(The Center Square) – One of the first of an expected 656 signs stating that city property in Seattle cannot be used by federal authorities for civil immigration enforcement efforts has been posted at Jefferson Park in the Beacon Hill neighborhood.
The signs are part of Mayor Katie Wilson’s Jan. 29 executive order to prevent the Trump administration from using city property as part of its campaign to detain and deport illegal immigrants.
