SUMMARY

Protests in Seattle turned violent as demonstrators gathered to demand an end to ICE immigration raids. At the rally, a dumpster was set on fire and the federal building was vandalized with "Abolish ICE."

Seattle Police arrested protesters and had to disperse the crowd after being targeted with rocks and fireworks. "I’ve never seen that large of a contingent of Seattle police officers all in riot gear," reported a KIRO reporter.

Multiple blocks were closed as the confrontation escalated, with reports of injuries among the protesters. Local leaders condemned federal interference in protest responses.
