SPOKANE, Wash. — A former Spokane city council member arrested during ICE protests in downtown Spokane has been released.
Ben Stuckart was arrested for failing to disperse and held on a $500 bond.
According to jail records, Stuckart was released Thursday morning.
The protests were organized by Stuckart as immigration agents were working to transport multiple immigrants to a detention facility in Tacoma, including one man seeking asylum in the United States from Venezuela.
Events escalated and more than 30 people were arrested. Mayor Brown declared a state of emergency Wednesday evening but that was lifted around 5 a.m. Thursday.
