Hi all,
I received this email and thought you should be aware. Read all emails through the string of forwards.
If you do have any influence over ICE, they do make it very hard for our victims to request protection in the form of a
civil order. They are frightened to appear or even file with ICE (or even rumors of) present in the courthouse.

I am forwarding this e-mail from the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network to you since your agency
serves crime victims and they maybe afraid to go to the courthouse to petition for a protection order because
ICE has been spotted at the Ephrata/ Grant County courthouse. You may want to call your Grant County
Commissioner to inform them how having ICE at the courthouse affects potential crime victim clients.

Dear WAISN Members,
We need all hands on deck (Partner organizations) to move people into action and pack the
rooms to get #lCE0ut0fCourts in Grant County!
After receiving numerous reporting of ICE presence at Ephrata/Grant County Courthouse and
connecting dozens of impacted community members to resources and support; we have become
fully aware of the reprehensible practices of ICE in the court and to an extent some collusion of
courthouse personnel.
•
The courthouse is a core state civic institution that can be vital to public safety and the provision of
due process. ICE has exhibited extreme disregard for the integrity of the court system.
