A Washington state official signed an executive order earlier this week banning Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials from using an international airport located in a sanctuary county to deport criminal illegal aliens. The order seeks to amend the airport’s lease practices.
King County Executive Dow Constantine, a Democrat, signed the order on April 23. It seeks to ensure future long-term leases with companies that operate hangars and other facilities at the county’s international airport do not “cooperate or facilitate immigration enforcement directives unless accompanied by a court order.”
