POD: Protest to Politics

This week we have a convo between Luke Baumgarten and former City Council President Ben Stuckart, focusing on the June 11 protest at the Spokane Immigration and Customs Enforcement Facility. The protest was sparked by the detention of two young refugees, Cesar Alexander Alvarez Perez and Joswar Slater Rodriguez Torres during a routine check-in with immigration. Ben shares the emotional and community-driven journey to support and advocate for the detained men, discussing the legal challenges, the supportive roles of various community members, and the broader implications of immigration policies. 01:00 Meet Cesar and Josar and the asylum process10:00 Challenges and injustices15:30 Protests and political context31:00 The spontaneous protest begins37:30 Arrest and jail conditions50:31 Solidarity and community supportRead more: Everything we know about the Spokane ICE protestsQueer BIPOC organizer arrested on their way to Spokane PrideFaith leaders plan prayer vigil at Spokane ICE Center to support immigrants June 24
