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!

I wonder about the larger implications on all contract crews and camp crews.

I wonder about the implications for all natural resource contracting, logging and adjacent industries. There are ton of Hispanic people involved of varying immigration status. Is ice going to be chasing choker setters around in the brush?
