 Journalist Lilly Fowler’s column for the South Seattle Emerald, “Masked Men Are Detaining People.

Her outreach to key figures like Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell, Police Chief Shon Barnes, and Governor Bob Ferguson—and their response—highlights the political sensitivity and complexity surrounding immigration enforcement in sanctuary jurisdictions like Seattle.
