Washington
Entries whose effect landed somewhere in Washington (WA) — a city, a county, a campus, a detention facility — whichever government acted. Federal conduct inside Washington counts here.
This is not the same set as Washington's jurisdiction page, which records the 2 entries where Washington's own government was the acting authority, wherever those events happened. The two overlap and neither contains the other: place and power are separate facts, and statewide acts appear there and not here.

HHS referred Seattle Children's Hospital to Inspector General over gender-affirming care for trans youth
On December 26, 2025, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' General Counsel referred Seattle Children's Hospital to the HHS Office of Inspector General for investigation, citing the hospital's provision of gender-affirming care to transgender minors. The referral -- the first enforcement action against a specifically named hospital following HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s December 18, 2025 declaration that such care is unsafe -- could result in the hospital losing federal Medicare and Medicaid funding. A coalition of Democratic state attorneys general has separately sued to block the underlying declaration, arguing HHS lacks authority to redefine medical standards by fiat.

U.S. Border Patrol detained Spokane asylum-seeker and his 10-year-old daughter, held them a month at Texas facility
U.S. Border Patrol agents detained Guatemalan asylum-seeker Arnoldo Tiul Caal and his 10-year-old daughter Karla Tiul Baltazar in Spokane, Washington, on January 10, 2026, a day after first stopping and questioning him, despite his ongoing asylum case and clean record. The pair, who had lived in Spokane since 2019, were held roughly a month at the Dilley, Texas immigration processing center -- where Karla ran a fever and vomited -- before the Department of Homeland Security released them on February 6 without contesting a due-process habeas petition alleging DHS had violated its own regulations.

ICE denied Greggy Sorio medical care for months at Tacoma detention facility, causing partial foot amputations
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's "pattern of failures" in treating Greggy Sorio, a Filipino lawful permanent resident held at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma, left him hospitalized on October 22, 2025, after months of denied care for reported bleeding and pain beginning around mid-2025; doctors diagnosed a bone infection and performed two amputation surgeries. ICE continued to pursue his deportation despite the injuries, attempting to remove him in early December 2025 before a court order temporarily blocked it. A federal judge in the Western District of Washington later ruled the facility's treatment unconstitutional and ordered Sorio's release on February 13, 2026.
