Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

ICE Arrests 37 Workers at Washington State Roofing Company

HeadlineApr 04, 2025

In Washington state, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided a roofing company in Bellingham early Wednesday, arresting at least 37 immigrant workers. Witnesses say the agents showed up in unmarked vehicles. Workers were rounded up and processed in a warehouse on site, before being loaded onto buses. The group is now being held at the troubled Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, where farmworker labor organizer Alfredo “Lelo” Juarez has also been jailed since last week. We’ll have more on these stories later in the broadcast.
