the people making the art that nourishes us and speaks to our times.

So listen to the Fresh Air podcast from NPR and WHYY.

Hey, good morning. Patricia Murphy here. It's Saturday. This is Seattle now.

Today we're bringing you the best from another KUOW show, Soundside, about how King County is preparing for a potential surge in immigration enforcement.

Border czar Tom Holman said this week that Operation Metro's surge is drawing down,

and immigration enforcement officers are leaving the Twin Cities.

The months-long campaign led to intense protest.

Two American citizens were shot and killed by immigration enforcement officers during the operation.

Prosecutors in Minneapolis have been trying to investigate those shootings, but they say they've been rebuffed by the federal government.

Like local officials everywhere, King County is navigating a shifting relationship with the federal government

and the possibility that an immigration enforcement surge could

happen here. Soundside's Libby Dankman spoke to Lisa Mannion and Gary Ernstorf from the King County

Prosecutor's Office. Here to talk about how she's preparing for these possibilities is Lisa

Mannion, the King County prosecuting attorney. Hi, prosecutor. Thank you very much for being here.

Thank you so much for having me. And also here is Gary Earnstorff, supervising attorney at the

Special Operations Unit at the King County Prosecutor's Office. Gary, thank you very much for being here.

Thanks, Libby. It's nice to talk to you about this important topic. Yeah, likewise. It's wonderful to have your perspective.
