I really don't understand this. I do understand that state LE does not have to enforce federal laws. I'm OK with that. But why not cooperate when it comes to arresting and deporting felons? Are illegal immigrant felons a protected class? Does WA also protect felons who are US Citizens?

The trooper, whose identity has not been released, reportedly contacted Immigration and Customs Enforcement about a criminal alien after investigating a traffic collision. The alien, Armando Chavez Corona, was previously convicted on a felony drug charge. Immigration officials deported the convicted felon on four separate occasions between 1996 and 2000. No information about his latest illegal reentry is publically available.
At no time, did the trooper arrest or detain Chavez Corona who was not at fault in the accident. Immigration officials arrived on the scene of the collision and took the criminal alien into custody.
