The Duwamish Tribe of Seattle had to cancel their annual Duwamish River Festival because of fear of ICE raids.

ICE can't tell the difference (or doesn't care) between Native Americans and immigrants from Latin America. They're just rounding up everyone with brown skin, so any gathering of brown-skinned people is now a potential target.

This is so depressing.

Seattle festival canceled due to ICE concerns

The Duwamish River Festival has been a source of joy for Magdalena Angel-Cano since the 27-year-old was a kid growing up in Seattle’s South Park neighborhood.

Food, music, dancing, learning and a celebration of the city’s only river, which environmental advocates have worked to restore after severe pollution.

But the festival won’t take place this August as planned because Angel-Cano and other organizers have canceled the annual event due to concerns about immigration enforcement operations under President Donald Trump.

It’s an example of the broad impacts that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions are having on communities in Seattle and beyond.

The Duwamish River Community Coalition, which hosts the festival in South Park, announced the cancellation last week. South Park sits by the river and is home to many Latino residents and immigrants.

“My biggest concern was exposing our community members that could be affected by ICE to any danger or safety issues,” said Angel-Cano, a community engagement and communications specialist at the coalition who was raised in South Park by immigrant parents from Mexico.

Roberto Salazar, who works with local businesses through the Only in South Park economic development initiative, said he’s never seen Latino community members so alarmed in South Park and across the city.

After weighing the pros and cons, organizers chose to act cautiously and cancel the festival. The Duwamish River Community Coalition will instead bring residents to the river in smaller groups and likely host a more private event to provide local immigrants with resources, Angel-Cano said.

“While this cancellation is heartbreaking, the safety and well-being of our neighbors must always come first,” the coalition said in a social media post announcing the difficult step. “We look forward to the day we can come together again in celebration, solidarity and strength.”

Several people praised the move on social media, describing the cancellation as sad but wise. Crystal Brown, the executive director of a neighborhood nonprofit called Cultivate South Park, had a similar reaction.

Although she loves taking part in the Duwamish River Festival, Brown has seen “jarring headlines” about recent ICE actions and news stories “changing by the day,” so she understands and supports this year’s approach.

“When I first saw the announcement, I was kind of sick to my stomach,” she said. “To me, it just comes down to human beings feeling unsafe and worried and scared. Friends are feeling that way. Families are feeling that way.”
