Tacoma’s Northwest Detention Center: Inhumane treatment of Border Patrol detainees has sparked ongoing protests around this facility. Funding has been earmarked for a multi-million Homeland Security Headquarters—with possible detention center—on the Olympic Peninsula.

Other ways to help:

• Sign and help circulate the petition

• Document your experiences
Descriptions of direct personal experiences you have with the Border Patrol are one of our most effective tools to document abuses and violations of civil liberties. We are gathering these facts to share information with our elected representatives. Document incidents you have witnessed regarding Border Patrol checkpoints, questioning, surveillance, harassment, etc. Even if you have experienced reverse profiling—you were not stopped, questioned or profiled, when others were—that is significant.

• Join the Border Patrol Response Team
A network has been set up in East Jefferson County to facilitate rapid response to BP activities. People are needed to help with the response phone tree and to witness, photograph and videotape incidents in progress. Contact us here if you can help.
