When two protests against deportation actions by federal agents met up on Washington Street Wednesday evening, the city issued a curfew and multiple police agencies filed into the area to push protesters away from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.
Now that things have slowed down I’m going to post the longer version of Colton’s video that shows more of the lead up, which appears peaceful by protesters
As of about 15 minutes ago @crasanen.bsky.social told me only about 40-50 people remained in the area of Washington Street and North River Boulevard
Chief Hall says the officers did not use rubber bullets or tear gas canisters. Can confirm no Spokane Police officers deployed rubber bullets
Spokane Police Chief Kevin Hall reporting on tactics actually used tonight: “we paid very close attention to what the crowd was doing.” After some people escalated behavior over 30 arrests for pedestrian interference, damage observed. Says no tear gas was used, only inert smoke, pepper balls
Spokane County Commissioner Josh Kerns issues statement condemning what he’s labeling “riots” in Spokane. The Inlander’s photographer currently on scene reports that police have removed their gas masks and appear relaxed at the moment
Spokane County Democrats Chair Naida Spencer also arrested
Ben Stuckart, again the former Spokane City Council President who called for community support earlier this afternoon for a man in his care who was being detained by ICE, has been arrested
Confirmed in this press release I received
Spokane Police Department and Spokane County Sheriff’s Office on scene
@crasanen.bsky.social is at what was already planned as a protest of ICE in Riverfront Park, organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation in Spokane. He can’t access his account on here atm so I’ll be reposting some update from him (I’m not on the scene)
