Seattle University cuts ties with ICE: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement used to be 1 of 800 placements that law students at Seattle U could potentially work an externship at. That’s not the case anymore though, as the Dean announced by email her decision to suspend the externship, citing the federal agency’s “current policies and practices.” But what brought about this decision? A petition of 468 names put together by a third-year student at the school, who had not seen any action taken after formally making a case to the administration. Take note kids, petitions pay off.

Kirkland police apologize for being tool of racist fear: ICYMI, the Seattle Times posted a column last Friday night about a story in which a frozen yogurt store in Kirkland called 911 on a social worker named Byron Ragland, who was there supervising a mother and son outing. So why did they call the cops? Because Ragland happens to be a black man, and this happens to be racist America. So despite Ragland doing nothing wrong, the Kirkland police did the fro-yo shop’s bidding, took Ragland’s info, and made him move along.

But KING5 says, “ShakeAlert is not yet widely available in the Pacific Northwest.”
