WA lawmakers want to restrict ICE access to schools, health facilities
Legislation to force federal immigration agents to get court approval before entering schools and health care facilities cleared the Washington state Senate on Thursday.
Senate Bill 5906 covers “nonpublic areas” of preschools, K-12 schools, health facilities, adult family homes, higher education institutions and election offices.
It also prohibits early learning providers and school district employees from collecting information about the immigration statuses of students and their families.
It’s basically an extension of the Keep Washington Working Act, the 2019 law setting limits for how police and others can cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
