Tensions Rise
Late Tuesday evening, police say a fight erupted on the grounds of Riverton Park United Methodist Church in Tukwila, home to hundreds of people seeking asylum. One of the migrant men allegedly showed a knife but no one got stabbed. It’s unclear if anyone was taken into custody but cops say everything is now under control.
Drain on Resources
The 911 calls to the church for fights and other altercations continue to drain resources from the city.
Violent Fights
There are reports of violent fights between minors and adults, along with dozens of calls to the police for other criminal activities.
