A whistleblower has accused the King County Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention of hiring over 100 corrections officers with temporary or expired work authorization, alleging violations of state immigration laws. The complaint, filed with Washington state authorities, claims that some hires were unauthorized immigrants who do not qualify under the DACA program. The county has denied these claims, stating that all officers are authorized to work in the U.S. and have undergone background checks. The state is now investigating the allegations, with the county cooperating.
