Three Spokane protesters were convicted of federal conspiracy charges Thursday and now await their sentencing.

The protestors face up to six years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines.

Jac Archer, Justice Forral and Bajun Mavalwalla II were arrested for trying to prevent federal officers from transporting two detained immigrants from Spokane to Tacoma in June 2025.

The trio, dubbed the “Spokane 3,” were among hundreds who responded to a Facebook post by former City Council President Ben Stuckart last summer that called for people to join him in blocking the transfer bus.
