Seattle Wasted So Much Money on Anti-Ice Signs it Can't Fix the Roads
Timothy Birdnow
Not only is Seattle wasting taxpayer money paying for anit-ICE signs but it will likely delay important road work an neglect transportation needs to fund the illegal opposition to law enforcement by the Trump Administration.
Seattle DOT has made thousands of signs informing ICE it is unwelcome and may not step on any state or local property and the cost was so high it is defunding road projects.
The Seattle Department of Safety stated in a fiscal memo:
"To the extent that appropriations made in the 2026 Adopted Budget support other activities, and for which SDOT cannot find efficiencies / savings to otherwise support, SDOT may have to delay or defer projects or programs to free up funding for the signage costs that will be incurred pursuant to this legislation. Cost for signage is indeterminate at this point as FAS has not yet completed a review of all the properties that would be covered by this legislation.”
So it is apparently more important that the good city of Seattle screw over America and the Trump Administration than it is to make it possible for it's residents to move about freely. This is their value; protect people who have broken the law over doing what it was actually elected to do.
