The legislation seeks to enshrine them in law and expand them to more locations amid the Trump administration\u2019s immigration crackdown.<\/p>\n<p>The Keep Washington Working Act \u201cdid not cover day cares. It did not cover public or nonpublic hospitals. It didn\u2019t cover nursing homes,\u201d said the bill\u2019s sponsor, Sen. Drew Hansen, D-Bainbridge Island.<\/p>\n<p>The measure passed on a party-line 30-19 vote with Democrats in support.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement often uses administrative warrants, which only require approval from an ICE official. This bill calls for a judicial warrant or court order before agents can enter these facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Upon taking office, President Donald Trump rescinded guidance shielding churches, schools and hospitals from immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, several Seattle schools sheltered in place for a day due to unconfirmed reports of ICE activity in the area. The rumors turned out to be false.<\/p>\n<p>Hansen recalled being able to take his mother to the hospital recently without having to worry about immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat happens if I\u2019m Drew with a different last name, and I\u2019m born in Guatemala and grew up in Washington state,\u201d Hansen said. \u201cIt might be the case that you have someone in your family in trouble and you don\u2019t quite know if you are going to be safe going into that ER from ICE enforcement activity. And we can\u2019t have that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Jeff Holy, R-Cheney, said he wishes this enforcement wasn\u2019t happening, but it\u2019s the job of Congress, not the state Legislature, to address.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing a vehicle like this as a thinly veiled attempt to directly obstruct a federal investigation, execution of federal laws by federal law enforcement officers under color of statutory authority gives me pain,\u201d Holy said, calling the legislation a \u201cruse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hansen\u2019s bill defines \u201cnonpublic\u201d as an \u201carea in which authorized individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy.\u201d These could be places that require a key to enter or that otherwise limit access to authorized people.<\/p>\n<p>Under the legislation, colleges will need to designate areas as public or nonpublic. School boards would have to adopt or amend policies for limiting immigration enforcement in their schools. The attorney general\u2019s office would be tasked with developing model policies for early learning providers.<\/p>\n<p>As for auditors\u2019 offices, Hansen\u2019s proposal defines anywhere ballots are handled, processed, counted or tabulated as nonpublic. Republicans took issue with this. Sen. Drew MacEwen, R-Shelton, called it \u201cdisturbing\u201d because votes are counted publicly.<\/p>\n<p>Hansen countered that election observers viewing vote counting are fine, but \u201cthe places where we tabulate ballots are generally not widely open to the public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If union employees at these types of facilities are subject to immigration enforcement, the employer has to contact their bargaining representative.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Manka Dhingra, D-Redmond, recalled the immigration arrest of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kuow.org\/stories\/high-school-theater-manager-to-bond-out-of-tacoma-immigrant-lockup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Juanita High School theater manager<\/a>\u00a0last summer, noting \u201cno one knew where he was.\u201d When the news eventually got out, his union raised money for his legal fight.<\/p>\n<p>Roughly a quarter of early childhood educators are immigrants, including those both with and without legal status, according to data from the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cscce.berkeley.edu\/publications\/blog\/nearly-half-a-million-early-childhood-educators-are-immigrants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Center for the Study of Child Care Employment<\/a>\u00a0at the University of California, Berkeley.<\/p>\n<p>The legislation is known as the Secure and Accountable Federal Enforcement, or SAFE, Act.<\/p>\n<p>It now goes to the House. If passed and signed by Gov. Bob Ferguson, it would take effect immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, King County Executive Girmay Zahilay on Thursday signed an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/content.govdelivery.com\/attachments\/WAKING\/2026\/02\/12\/file_attachments\/3552983\/Protecting%20Immigrants%20and%20Refugees%20EO.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">executive order<\/a>\u00a0looking to ban immigration enforcement agents from nonpublic county property.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-content-area\">\n<article id=\"post-108367\" class=\"post-108367 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-education category-news\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<hr \/>\n<p data-autoattached=\"true\"><em>This article has been reposted with permission from the Washington State Standard, part of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/statesnewsroom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">States Newsroom<\/a>, the nation\u2019s largest state-focused nonprofit news organization and committed to shining \u201ca light on policy and politics in all 50 states.\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonstatestandard.com\/donate\/\">Click here to support nonprofit<\/a>, freely distributed, independent local journalism.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonstatestandard.com\/2026\/02\/13\/wa-lawmakers-want-to-restrict-ice-access-to-schools-health-facilities\/\">Read\u00a0this article<\/a> and others online at Washington State Standard.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p data-autoattached=\"true\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>TAKE ACTION:<\/strong> <\/span>Do you have an opinion or stance on <a href=\"https:\/\/app.leg.wa.gov\/BillSummary\/?BillNumber=5906&amp;Year=2025&amp;Initiative=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB 5906?
