Activists and protesters have gathered around the ICE Detention facility in Tacoma, all in response to a large group of refugees and immigrants being arrested upon their arrival in SeaTac airport. Twenty-seven men, women and children arrived on Thursday on a direct flight from Paris, France. Some had family waiting for them at the Arrivals gate while others were traveling on their own, coming to jobs at some of the region’s largest employers.



Erin Lowry, the representative for the PNW Office of the US Immigration Enforcement Task Force, said that while the precise reasons for each of these individuals being detained could not be released to the public, she was allowed to announce that their office and the Department of Homeland Security had received credible evidence of at least one threat amongst these passengers.



A representative from the Governor’s office supported Ms. Lowry’s statement. The governor’s office and a representative of the office of the Mayor of Seattle both signed on to letters indicating that these refugees would not be allowed to be settled within the city limits of Seattle, nor anywhere within Washington State.



Ms. Lowry indicated that these 27 individuals will be taken to Joint Base Lewis-McCord and flown to another ICE facility. Ms. Lowry declined to specify which facility. When asked if they would be taken to Guantanamo Bay and treated as enemy combatants, Ms. Lowry said that she could not confirm if that would happen, but that it was a possibility.



Members of the Church Council of Seattle have planned round the clock protests and intend to hinder the removal of these individuals.



Crown News will be following this story and will have more on tomorrow’s news.

Milwaukee, Illinois..

News from home, or what he considered home for the time being. As the old dong said; "Where I lay my head is home." Still, the Pacific Northwest had always felt like going home. No matter where the Green Woman sent him, he always felt a balance shift and settle when he set foot on native PNW soil. It could have been anything from the climate to the smell of the wild; it just brought him an inner peace he couldn't explain.

Milwaukee, IL was a hell of a town, and Mark Decker one hell of a host. It helped having a Gangrel acting as Prince, but was much better having common grounds to stand on. Though he hated the Green Woman with a fiery passion, Rhodes wouldn't hold that against him. Jyhad wasn't personal, and Decker kept things business casual. Provided Decker kept his end of the bargain, Rhodes wouldn't take offense to a few quick verbal jabs at his Mentor's expense.

The local news had a similar report of the situation in Seattle, WA. Sending immigrants to a military facility was a hot ticket item. Rhodes sat alone in the motel he took for the evening. Cigar in hand, he watched and listened. It was difficult to read between the lines on second hand news; the Jyhad was everywhere. Of these 27 passengers, he wondered how many of them had connections to Kindred involvement. He would often ignore political aspirations when it came to the Camarilla, but he was feeling home sick on this hunt and the local news report got his wheels turning again.

He hated seeing immigrants turned away.

After all, weren't they all refugees to the mortals? Sappy as fuck, he was getting soft. Grimacing, the television was turned off and the remote tossed onto the small table in front of him. He sat in the dark, finishing his cigar, but his mind was drifting back to the Emerald Domain..
