Man arrested by ICE outside Kitsap courthouse free on bail

TACOMA — Ray Garrido of the Kitsap Immigrant Assistance Center was at the Northwest ICE Processing Center on Wednesday representing a Kitsap County man arrested Nov. 6 by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The man, whose family owns a restaurant in East Bremerton, was picked up by ICE at the Kitsap County Courthouse after appearing in Kitsap County District Court for driving without a license.

His wife described waiting in the car with their 4-year-old son hour after hour for his release. In the late afternoon, she learned from a courthouse employee that he had been detained, marking the sixth ICE arrest in Kitsap County since enforcement escalated earlier this fall. Five men were detained on Sept. 23.

Garrido, speaking Friday at Kitsap's annual Conference for Human Rights, said immigration policy changes enacted by the Trump administration have greatly unsettled the local immigrant community.
