"A Washington jury has convicted three protesters of federal conspiracy charges for trying to prevent federal officers from transporting two detained illegal immigrants from Spokane to Tacoma last June.
They face up to six years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
Supporters and others have dubbed them “the Spokane 3.”
The trio were among hundreds who responded to a Facebook post by former City Council President Ben Stuckart last summer that urged people to join him in blocking the immigration transfer bus.
A total of nine protesters, including Stuckart, were arrested on conspiracy charges. Stuckart and five others took guilty pleas in exchange for reduced sentences.
Bajun Mavalwalla, Sr., the father of one of the protesters and a congressional candidate."
