[Last Name] 1 PETITION TO THE GOVERNOR OF WASHINGTON AND APPROPRIATE AUTHORITIES WE THE UNDERSIGNED, RESIDENTS AND CITIZENS OF KING COUNTY, SNOHOMISH COUNTY, AND THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, IN RESPONSE TO THE FATAL SHOOTING OF RENEE NICOLE GOOD AND THE ESCALATING VIOLENCE INVOLVING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT AGENTS, and in recognition of the fear, outrage, and insecurity felt across our communities, do hereby call upon the Governor of Washington and all competent authorities to take immediate action to protect the rights, safety, and freedoms of Washington State residents. On January 7, 2026, a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, during a federal enforcement operation in Minneapolis—a death that has sparked widespread protest and national concern about federal law enforcement and ICE conduct. We are distressed by reports that local officials and community members are questioning the circumstances of this killing and that the incident has ignited fear and unrest across the nation. We further note that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has ordered the National Guard into a standby posture in response to the unrest surrounding this shooting, with the intent to help maintain peace and protect citizens. We, the people of Washington State, demand: 1. Immediate Standby Activation of the Washington National Guard That our Governor follow the example set in Minnesota and place the Washington National Guard on authorized standby—ready to support civil authorities to protect lives, civil liberties, and public safety in the event of federal law enforcement overreach or threats to community peace. 2. Protection of Washington State residents from Unlawful ICE Violence That our leaders publicly affirm the fundamental right of every resident to life, safety, and freedom from undue federal force and intimidation by ICE, and make clear that ICE or any other federal force must not act with impunity within our communities. 3. A Firm Stand Against Federal Authoritarianism That Washington’s elected officials refuse to tolerate any use of federal armed force that threatens the constitutional freedoms of residents, and that our state government be prepared to act decisively to protect all Washingtonians from federal actions that violate civil liberties or 4. State Legislators draft laws that protect the people. We demand that state legislators draft some a law or laws that enable police to protect civilians from illegal federal violence. Presently, police officers don’t seem to know what to do when faced with ICE committing illegal acts of violence. Let’s change that by drafting some kind of mandate that places the safety of unarmed civilians at the top of the list. No more illegal federal brutality or endangerment of public welfare. We also want a verbal promise of protection made to the people to relieve immediate anxieties regarding ICE violence. We, the undersigned, demand leadership that prioritizes public safety, civil rights, and the constitutional freedoms of all Washington State residents. Our lives and liberties are not negotiable.
