Jail shifts detainee policy Inmates are no longer held for possible deportation at the request of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. By Diana Hefley Herald Writer
EVERETT — The Snohomish County Jail has joined a growing number of lockups across the state and country that no longer are holding inmates for possible deportation at the request of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The shift in policy at the Everett jail came in May when the county’s civil prosecutors advised Sheriff Ty Trenary that he had no legal standing to incarcerate inmates based solely on detainers issued by immigration officials. The change might have contributed to a man charged with attempted murder evading arrest.
At the request of ICE agents, the jail used to hold inmates up to two days, sometimes longer, after the initial charge was resolved or a person was eligible to post bail. Jails notified the federal officers before they released those inmates. That gave immigration agents time to take custody of people whose legal status was in question, for possible deportation proceedings. That changed in Snohomish County earlier this year. “We were told that there’s not
a sufficient legal basis to continue their detention,” sheriff’s spokeswoman Shari Ireton said. That advice came after a federal court in Oregon ruled that Clackamas County violated an immigrant woman’s constitutional rights by holding her in jail for more than two weeks without probable cause. The immigration detainers typically aren’t accompanied by arrest warrants. The court ruled that the local jail See JAIL, Page A2

EVERTT — The Cannabis Cup logo depicts George Washington smoking a joint. At the weekend’s marijuana expo at Comcast Arena, George had lots of followers. Some emulating him even had his gray hair. The two-day weekend event had three designated
“medicating” sections for people over 21. You know, like a beer garden. Only more aromatic. Vendors offered bong hits and samples of pot brownies. “This is a trade show,” said Dan Skye of High Times, the venerable cannabis magazine that hosted the event. “Just like if you were at a natural products expo, you’d be sampling their natural food, their little morsels.” Based on the booths, it’s clear that many professions have their hand in the pot of the booming marijuana industry.

OLYMPIA — Those seeking to log in landslide-prone areas may soon need to provide the state with even more scientific data to prove the safety of people living nearby is adequately protected. The state Department of Natural Resources revised its timber harvest application form after the deadly Oso mudslide to ensure additional geologic reports can be demanded if a proposal on or near an unstable slope could put public safety at risk. Now the state Forest Practices Board, an independent agency which regulates logging on public and private lands, is looking to adopt a new rule to cement the change into law. Board members discussed the rule at their Thursday meeting and are on target to formally initiate it in November with adoption early next year. “We’re making good progress toward increasing our management scrutiny,” said Dave Somers, Snohomish County Council Chairman and a board member. “I think there are still questions about what we do with this information particularly where the public and public resources are at risk.” The new rule is emerging from the effort launched by the board in May to figure out how well existing policies and practices for logging protect people and public resources from the risk of damaging landslides. At the time, the board ordered a review of the science behind current landslide protection regulations and an inventory of the tools Department of Natural Resource staff use to evaluate logging proposals. The board is focused on how these are applied in areas with deposits of glacial sediment where deep-seated landslides have occurred in the past and are at risk
