The mayor of Spokane, Washington, has declared a state of emergency after two anti-ICE protests with hundreds of protestors ended with police officers shooting tear gas and making arrests.
A curfew has also been set from 9:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. local time, according to the declaration by Mayor Lisa Brown. The declaration said: “Everyone must abide by the curfew, with limited exceptions for emergency personnel, media, residents living in the area, people going to and from work, and those leaving a nearby soccer game.”
Brown made the call in response to hundreds of demonstrators that blocked federal agents in Spokane Wednesday from leaving a downtown immigration office, reportedly with refugees detained at court hearings earlier in the day, according to The Spokesman Review.
