    WA blocked over 100,000 license plate searches from feds, but immigration raids and vehicle arrests are still rampant

    Here’s a number for you: 108,170. That is the number of times immigration enforcement has attempted to look up a Washington license plate number and been denied since November of last year.  That number comes from the state and it’s one that Governor Bob Ferguson has been touting, citing the value of guarding resident’s data from the federal government.  While the number seems high, does it mean a difference in enforcement actions?   Guest: Gustavo Sagrero, KUOW’s Race, Identity, and Immigration Reporter Relevant Links:  KUOW: WA has blocked over 100,000 federal attempts to access license plate data  KUOW: This Seattle-area mechanic offers free tows for vehicles left behind after ICE arrests Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

    How juvenile court handles cases when kids are accused of serious offenses

    Police have one 15-year-old suspect in custody in connection to the mass shooting at Seattle Center on Sunday. Earlier this week, a King County Superior Court Judge found probable cause for three counts of first-degree assault and a single count of second-degree illegal possession of a firearm.  The suspect remains in juvenile detention. An arraignment is scheduled for Thursday, where the defendant will hear charges filed against them.   But the legal process may become more complicated due to the alleged suspect’s age.  Judge J. Mike Diaz explains how juvenile court works, and the major differences between that and adult court – in the wake of the mass shooting at Seattle Center. Guest: J. Mike Diaz was a King County Superior Court judge from 2018-2022, and served a term as the Chief Judge of King County's Patricia H. Clark Children & Family Justice Center. Former governor Jay Inslee appointed him to the Court of Appeals in 2022. He's also an adjunct professor of Law at Seattle University Law School and taught juvenile law at the Washington Judicial College.

    The Seattle Center shooting, from the perspective of a father who lost his son to gun violence

    People in Seattle are still processing a mass shooting on Sunday that left three dead.  It happened on the final day of the Bite of Seattle, a lively food festival that draws thousands of attendees every year.  A day after the shooting, Arron Murphy-Paine helped organize a vigil at the Seattle Center, where the shooting happened.  His son, Amarr Murphy-Paine, was shot and killed outside of Garfield High School in 2024 while he was breaking up a fight. That case remains unsolved.  Murphy-Paine sat down with Soundside to reflect on the Seattle Center shooting.

    How this empty QFC became a hub for punk rock, movie lovers and more

    Wanna go see a movie?  We could check out what’s playing at The Beacon…. Or  Majestic Bay…  …. Or….  We could pop by the old QFC on 15th Avenue on Capitol Hill.  That’s where a local community group has been hosting movie nights for the past few months.  This QFC stands for the “Quality Film Club.” It convenes every other Thursday… in the Quality Flea Center. (You can see how they’re keeping the spirit of QFC alive).  This club is just one of the many ways that its co-organizers are creating community. And all of it is facilitated by their access to this abandoned grocery store.  Guest: Josh Okrent, a co-organizers of the Quality Film Club. He’s also the “Big Cheese” of the Punk Rock Flea Market.
