Nearby: Auburn, WAResidents of federally funded public housing will be required to show proof of U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status under a new rule published Thursday by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The measure could displace nearly 80,000 people, including tens of thousands of citizens in mixed-status families, from their homes, according to the Center for Budget and Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research and policy institute. Since 1995, mixed-status families have been permitted to live together in HUD-funded housing as long as federal subsidies covered only eligible household members. The new rule may force these families to decide whether to remain together in nonpublic housing or split up their households. “This is tearing apart families and sowing division,” said Marie Claire Tran-Leung, director of the Evictions Initiative Project and managing attorney at the National Housing Law Project.

Nearby: Tacoma, WAUW Tacoma students share their thoughts on the predicted results of the 2026 midterm election. By Kai Lee With the election results still coming in, many people are watching in anticipation. Some students at UW Tacoma reflect on the Nov. 3, 2026, election results. On Nov. 4, Shayla Pitre, a senior at UW Tacoma, explained that she voted against Initiative 645, which aimed to repeal the millionaires’ tax. The initiative was predicted to not pass. “I feel like they should tax millionaires,” Pitre said. “… I’m glad that one didn’t go the other way.” Initiative 001, the “Parents Bill of Rights,” focused on giving parents more access to certain records about their child held at their school. “I feel like parents should have a right to see what their kids are learning,” Pitre said. “I don’t see what the problem is. Do they not want [parents] to know? Parents—whether they know or not—they don’t write the book that they learn from in school.

Nearby: Tacoma, WAOregon already has a 2021 law banning private immigration detention centers that may not be enforceable in light of previous court rulings on privately-run facilities. Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek is calling upon state lawmakers to pass legislation outlawing the construction of new immigration detention centers in the upcoming legislative session next year, but previous court cases from other states suggest that such a law may not be enforceable. The governor made her comments at a Friday press conference where she was asked what more she and state leaders could do to support Oregonians amid the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration crackdown, during which federal agents have shot people, conducted warrantless arrests and smashed car windows. Research from immigrant rights advocates has shown that counties with such centers are more likely to see immigration-related arrests.
