WA AG-elect Nick Brown warns of ‘dangerous threats’ by Trump | The Olympian

Olympia, WALocal News

In a recent keynote address at the 2024 Re-Wire Conference, Washington Attorney General-elect Nick Brown articulated his concerns regarding potential threats from the incoming Trump administration, labeling them as 'uniquely dangerous' for the rights and protections of Washington residents, particularly impacting undocumented individuals and those worried about environmental policies and healthcare access. Brown, who has a history of opposing Trump’s policies, emphasized his commitment to defending state laws and the core values of Washingtonians. He highlighted the stark contrast between state and national election results, underscoring that the majority views in Washington do not align with the broader national sentiment. The former U. S.

attorney acknowledged that many residents are 'rightly' fearful of federal actions that could infringe upon their rights. As he prepares to assume office, Brown pledged that his team would remain vigilant and ready to take legal action to defend the rights of Washingtonians. His commitment reflects a significant shift in the state's legal landscape as he succeeds Bob Ferguson, who famously challenged the Trump administration nearly 100 times.
