Anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protesters showed up at the Federal Building in downtown Seattle on Tuesday, showing solidarity with demonstrators in Los Angeles.
Some of the protesters piled up e-bikes and scooters to block the building’s driveway, preventing detained immigrants from leaving the facility.
Around 8 pm, at least one less-lethal round was fired, and the crowd was ordered to disperse. OC canisters were also deployed. As of 9 pm, two people had been arrested, according to the Seattle Times.

“Because that’s just what we want, is to show our immigrants, immigrant community, love and compassion, and we don’t want them to disappear in the dark of night,” one person told KIRO 7.
The federal building houses Seattle’s immigration court.
