John Curley questions Seattle council member’s ‘malicious’ ICE raid post

Sep 21, 2025, 5:00 AM | Updated: Sep 22, 2025, 5:20 am

A social media post from King County Councilmember Sarah Perry is drawing sharp criticism and potential legal scrutiny after she shared the alleged location of federal immigration enforcement agents staying in Issaquah.

The now-deleted post, originally published on Perry’s personal Facebook page, claimed that four U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were staying at the SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Issaquah. The post included the hotel’s full address and specified the second and fifth floors as the agents’ reported locations.

During “The John Curley Show” on KIRO Newsradio, host John Curley questioned Perry’s motives for sharing the information so publicly.

“What was your intent to tell anybody on your Facebook page where they were, what the address is, and what floor they’re on? What’s the point of that?” Curley asked. “Is it malicious? Because then you would violate federal law, 18 U.S. Code 119, which prohibits knowingly making restricted personal information of certain federal officials public with malicious intent.”

Watch the full discussion in the video above.
