Chelan County will stop providing court date information to ICE

Chelan County prosecutors said they will no longer share information about immigrants’ court proceedings with federal immigration enforcement following an incident earlier this month outside the county courthouse.

Ryan Valaas, chief criminal deputy prosecuting attorney, said his office confirmed to Immigration and Customs Enforcement the sentencing date for Douglas Gramajo-Gomez. ICE agents arrested Gramajo-Gomez outside the courthouse after his sentencing.

The Keep Washington Working Act, a state law, prohibits law enforcement and courthouses from sharing information about an individual’s immigration status and prohibits arrests in, and within one mile outside, courthouses without a warrant.

“We absolutely do not provide or share documentation status with ICE,” Valaas said. “Going forward, this information will no longer be provided by our office and ICE will have to obtain this publicly available information another way.”
