'We do this for others': Edmonds protests Trump administration
EDMONDS — About 250 protesters gathered at the Edmonds Ferry Terminal on Tuesday on the one-year anniversary of President Trump’s second term.
The “Signs of Fascism” protest was organized by South Snohomish County Indivisible. Holding signs such as “Freeze ICE” and “Defend democracy,” attendees waved at cars getting on and off the Edmonds-Kingston ferry.
Many attendees were concerned about the Trump administration’s increase in immigration enforcement. Since Trump took office last year, the federal government has ramped up deportation efforts, including securing billions in funding for new immigration agents and detention spaces.
“I’m against the cruelty and brutality, the tactics of ICE, and the randomness and haste,” attendee Shelly Ehni said. “I think we all want some immigration control in our country, but there are ways to do that kindly and humanely.”
