Federal immigration goons use their vehicles to confront a crowd of demonstrators protesting ICE in Tacoma, in what eyewitnesses say was an attempt by the suspected Feds to intimidate them. You can see the crowd stand their ground, and the goons drive off.

Hackers just confirmed Flock “detects people as well as vehicles, license plates, and bicycles.” WA state law narrowly defines Flock as a simple “ALPR,” and the local media continues calling them “CCTV.” These definitions are simplistic and intentionally misleading.

July was ICE’s busiest month yet in the Puget Sound region. It’s a stealthy surge, without the helicopters or smoke grenades of Chicago and MN. But the surge is real, with real people taken every day. Each red pin is someone’s family member, neighbor, coworker, loved one.

Screenshot from iceout.org (People Over Papers) showing community ICE reports in the Seattle-Tacoma-Everett region from 7/1-2026-7/31/2026.

The whole urban region is covered with map pins in red, yellow, and green. The pins stack on top of each other, making them impossible to count.

Maintain use of Flock safety cameras
- Use of technology as a cost-effective and innovative way to deter and solve crime
- ALPR technology captures objective evidence without compromising individual privacy
- Tukwila does NOT provide Flock data to federal immigration enforcement agencies
- ALPR data is used only for local investigative public safety purposes
- Data helps locate wanted criminals, stolen vehicles and/or license plates, and missing or at-risk individuals
