SPD Unable to Respond to Mexican Consulate Protest Due to Only a Handful of Units on Duty

Seattle Police says it was unable to respond Friday after security at the Capitol Hill-located Consulate of Mexico in Seattle called for assistance as protesters reportedly surrounded employees attempting to leave the Harvard Ave diplomatic facility.

According to the SPD brief on the Friday incident, consulate security called for help around 4:15 PM saying 20-25 people were protesting outside the building. “Security staff said when they tried to evacuate the building consulate employees were surrounded and prevented from leaving,” the brief reads.

SPD was not able to respond, according to the report, because there were “over 50 911 calls waiting and only a handful of patrol units available throughout the entire city” at the time of the incident.

There was no information in the report about why the protest targeted the facility but there have been demonstrations around the world in solidarity with actions in Chiapas protesting Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. CHS reported here on the opening of the consulate in 2018.
