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!

No they should be threatening a strike until the people detained are returned and they are guaranteed ICE will no longer interfere with their efforts. What a screwed up country we’re living in where people bravely trying to help in a crisis are being detained by cowards that are too scared to show their faces….
