Illegal aliens might finally be finding their way to jail in moonbattery-addled Seattle, seat of King County. The only problem is that they may be there as employees:

[T]he King County Department of Adult & Juvenile Detention (DAJD) has publicly acknowledged that at least 38 of its corrections officers were hired and certified despite failing to meet the immigration-eligibility requirement under state law. And the county is continuing to employ most of them in the positions they were illegally hired to.

Rather than comply with the law, DAJD is reportedly planning to challenge it.

The revelation comes after a whistleblower filed a complaint alleging the questionable hires may top 100, raising urgent questions about DAJD’s hiring practices, leadership oversight, and potential public-safety consequences. …

[The Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission]’s rules clearly state that the hiring agency bears responsibility for reviewing employment eligibility under RCW 43.101.095 and for submitting a “Notice of Hire” under penalty of perjury.

If you can’t find respect for the law even among the people running the prisons, you are unlikely to find it elsewhere.
