Question

Accepted Answer

Washington's Keep Washington Working Act (2019) bars local police from cooperating with ICE without judicial warrants, stops them from asking about immigration status during routine stops, and prohibits ICE access to state databases. The law includes exceptions: Department of Corrections still notifies ICE when convicted felons are released, and police can cooperate if ICE provides a judicial warrant (not just an administrative one). This creates a high bar for federal access while claiming compliance with constitutional limits.
