Adams County violated state law when its Sheriff’s Office illegally collaborated with federal immigration officials, a Spokane County Superior Court judge ruled today in a lawsuit brought by the state Attorney General’s Office (AGO). The judge found Adams County violated the state Keep Washington Working Act in multiple ways, and concluded the law does not violate the state or U.S. constitutions. It’s the first time a state court has interpreted and applied the provisions of the Keep Washington Working Act, which was signed into law in 2019.
