WTA statement on ICE arrest of family members camping on public lands (published at 15:30 PST on Sept. 9):

We are deeply disturbed by the recent report that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials arrested five people who were camping with their families in Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest over Labor Day weekend.

While this story is still developing, we are concerned that incidents like this will set an alarming precedent for Washington’s public lands that could make the outdoors less welcoming and safe. WTA believes that everyone should have opportunities to get outside and enjoy the benefits of time in nature. This can only happen when people feel safe and welcome on public lands.

The outdoors should be a place of joy, wonder, reflection and play. If people don’t feel safe on public lands, they may not receive the mental and physical benefits of time outside. ICE enforcement activity on public lands risks eroding the trust between outdoor recreators and our nation’s land managers. If people avoid talking to Forest rangers, they won’t be able to ask for information or help when they need it, making the outdoors less safe overall.

At WTA, our vision is trails for everyone, forever. That means we’re working to build a future where every person can access the outdoors and feel safe and welcomed there. This work is more important than ever, and we’re proud to partner with groups that connect Latino and immigrant communities with the outdoors.

If you’d like to be a part of this work, please consider supporting our partners at ECOSS and Latino Outdoors.
