SPOKANE, WASH. - Last Wednesday, Governor Jay Inslee signed Senate Bill 5497, immigrants in the workplace bill, but some have started to call this new bill the Sanctuary State law.
"We will not be complicit in the Trump administration's deprived efforts to break up a hardworking immigrant and refugee families here that are still right there with," Gov. Inslee said during the bill's signing.
Similar to laws Oregon and California have already passed under Washington's new law; local law enforcement is banned from asking about someone's immigration status unless it's part of a criminal investigation. Spokane County Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich says that's never happened anyway
