Seattle鈥檚 progressive media has a troubling habit of giving megaphones to radical activist groups without telling the public just how extreme they really are. One of the worst offenders is KING 5, which recently treated the fringe, open-borders group La Resistencia as a legitimate stakeholder in the immigration debate, when in reality, the group wants to abolish U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), shut down all detention facilities, and end deportations altogether. Who cares what they have to say about deportations in the Puget Sound region?

In a July 10 , KING 5 effectively rewrote La Resistencia鈥檚 press release. The article uncritically platformed their claims, offered no meaningful pushback, and gave zero context to who this group actually is. It reads like a PR piece from an activist newsletter 鈥� not a serious news outlet.

But La Resistencia isn鈥檛 just some concerned grassroots immigrant group. This is a radical, extremist organization with a mission that goes far beyond helping detainees. By their own admission, they are working to 鈥渟hut down the NWDC [Northwest Detention Center], and to end all detentions and deportations in Washington State.鈥�

La Resistencia is a radical group and should be treated as such

La Resistencia doesn’t want a more humane immigration system. They want no immigration enforcement at all. And they actively fight to release 补濒濒听illegal immigrants from detention centers, no matter the crime they’ve committed.

鈥淲e oppose any kind of detention, physical or virtual鈥� we can鈥檛 rely on the law alone to be able to win. But we continue using all tools available to pressure all elected officials at all levels to be accountable and fight to end the terror of immigration enforcement, detention, and deportation,” the group says .

These aren鈥檛 reasonable policy goals. They鈥檙e anarchistic, open borders fever dreams.

Yet Seattle media 鈥� especially outlets like KING 5 鈥� continues to launder the group鈥檚 reputation by omitting their radicalism entirely. In the article, KING 5 didn鈥檛 explain that La Resistencia鈥檚 goal is to completely eliminate detention and deportation 鈥� not to reform it. Instead, the station framed the group as compassionate advocates helping poor immigrants caught in a cruel system.

Counterpoint? What counterpoint!?

The story quoted a La Resistencia report ludicrously asserting that the Trump deportation plan is “the largest mass transport program of people in chains since the end of the Slave Trade.” The deportees are shackled, which is common practice. To KING 5, this isn’t hyperbole, but a valid point they needed to print. Let that sink in.

And where鈥檚 the counterpoint? Where鈥檚 the acknowledgement that La Resistencia opposes all deportations, even of violent criminals or those who skipped court dates? Where鈥檚 the mention that their goal isn鈥檛 just humanitarian aid 鈥� it鈥檚 the total dismantling of border enforcement?

It鈥檚 intentional journalistic malpractice because the goal is activism.

In the rush to virtue signal, progressive outlets are giving cover to radical activists who want to dismantle the very idea of national sovereignty. There鈥檚 a reason La Resistencia began under the national #Not1More campaign 鈥� because their view is that not one illegal immigrant should ever be deported, no matter what.

Fringe even for Washington state

La Resistencia does not promote mainstream positions. Not even for Washington state. It鈥檚 a fringe ideology that would turn Washington into a lawless sanctuary for anyone who crosses the border illegally. And that鈥檚 exactly what La Resistencia is fighting for. Maybe that should be disclosed by left-wing media?

Of course, La Resistencia is free to express its extremist views. But when local media outlets like KING 5 pretend La Resistencia is just a helpful nonprofit providing a service, they鈥檙e lying to the public. They鈥檙e giving a sanitized platform to a group that wants to upend law and order鈥攁nd they鈥檙e doing so without any accountability.

Perhaps left-wing media will stop acting as stenographers for radical groups and start asking hard questions? Seattle deserves journalism鈥攏ot activist amplification. But I won’t hold my breath.
