Head of Seattle Police Officers Guild Has the Perfect Response to Mayor’s Effort to Have Cops Track ICE – Brutal Takedown!

February 1, 2026 George Rowe

You know that dangerous slide when a leftist mayor prioritizes shielding illegals over public safety, turning local cops into spies against federal agents? That’s Seattle’s new socialist Mayor Katie Wilson, who announced a series of unhinged measures to “address federal immigration enforcement activities.” Her plan? Direct the Seattle Police Department (SPD) to investigate, verify, and document ICE operations, then mandate sharing that intel with “community partners”—code for anti-ICE activist groups like Ice Watch. She also wants to prohibit ICE from staging ops on city property, invest $4 million in immigrant communities, and establish the “Stand Together Seattle” initiative, all to counter what she calls the “unpredictable, chaotic, and violent behavior” of the federal government. This is peak sanctuary insanity—tasking police to track ICE instead of helping remove criminal aliens.

Wilson’s moves come amid nationwide anti-ICE hysteria, where mobs in places like Minneapolis stalk agents, loot federal vehicles, steal rifles, and assault officers—all while Dem politicians egg them on with “fight back” rhetoric. In Seattle, this means diverting cops from real crime to spying on feds enforcing the law. Are these “community partners” the same radicals trained to harass ICE and block deportations? Absolutely—Wilson’s essentially arming them with real-time intel, putting agents in even more danger.

But not everyone’s buying it. The president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, Mike Solan, fired back with a perfect response: “Toothless virtue signaling rhetoric like this has already cost two people their lives. The concept of pitting two armed law enforcement agencies against each other is ludicrous, and will not happen. I will not allow SPOG members to be used as political pawns.”

Post:

Solan’s stand is a breath of fresh air—cops shouldn’t be pawns in leftist games. This echoes LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell’s refusal to enforce Gov. Gavin Newsom’s “no mask ban” on agents: “The reality of one armed agency approaching another armed agency to create conflict over something that would be a misdemeanor at best, or an infraction. It doesn’t make any sense. It’s not a good public policy decision, and it wasn’t well thought out in my opinion.”

Wilson’s priorities are backwards—while Seattle drowns in homelessness, crime, and drug crises, she’s wasting resources on anti-ICE virtue signaling. This isn’t leadership; it’s aiding criminals at taxpayers’ expense. The left’s “compassion” always means protecting illegals over citizens, turning cities into havens for fraud and threats. Trump’s deportation push exposes this rot—agents risking lives to remove dangers, while mayors like Wilson sabotage them.

Folks like Newsom and Wilson don’t care about the consequences of their bad policies, which is why they leave everything they touch a mess. Time for accountability—probe these officials for obstruction, support unions pushing back. The feds shouldn’t tolerate this—override the sanctuaries, clean house. Patriots, demand leaders who put America first, not illegals.
