Protect our data from immigration authorities!

I am a constituent from Tacoma. I am contacting you because federal immigration authorities are still using drivers’ data in our state to use for enforcement actions. The UW’s Center for Human Rights has recently released a report that illustrates how DOL data was queried in immigration enforcement actions as recently as November 2025, via a system called ACCESS that connects to a national law-enforcement network known as Nlets. Seven of these queries were confirmed as involving civil immigration enforcement by ICE and CBP. It is unacceptable that federal authorities can find ways to exploit loopholes in our laws. Law enforcement can use the systems for legitimate criminal investigations without compromising the immigration status of Washington residents, as the Keep Washington Working law intends. Please ensure that all federal immigration agencies are blocked from accessing Washington’s Nlets data.
