The state of Washington (NOT DC) seeks to pass laws granting local “health officers” the right to forcibly remove and quarantine anyone suspected of illness or refusing to comply with isolation, testing, treatment, or vaccination. An excerpt from WAC 246-100-040 Procedures for isolation or quarantine states:
“At his or her sole discretion, a local health officer may issue an emergency detention order causing a person or group of persons to be immediately detained for purposes of isolation or quarantine in accordance with subsection (3) of this section, or may petition the superior court ex parte for an order to take the person or group of persons into involuntary detention for purposes of isolation or quarantine.”
