POD: Protest to Politics

Luke chats with Ben Stuckart on the Spokane ICE protests and how the two refugees are doing after being detained by ICE and taken to Tacoma.

The POD: What’s new with RANGE news?

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.
