Bear Gulch immigration raid

Hey r/Wildfire — I'm a Seattle-based reporter working on a story about the immigration raid at the Bear Gulch Fire. Hoping to get more info from anyone who's been out there or has an account of what happened. Also looking for insight about the larger implications of immigration enforcement at active wildfires. I can talk off the record or on background with anyone who's willing to share. Please PM me if you'd like to connect. Thanks!

Fair request. Here's my author page: https://stateline.org/author/abrown/

Here's a story I did earlier this year on the administration's cuts to wildfire crews: https://stateline.org/2025/02/18/trumps-cuts-to-federal-wildfire-crews-could-have-scary-consequences/

I'm on Signal at abrownstateline.81.
