Trial of the Spokane 3, Day 5: ICE agent will be called back in to court to testify about Twitter account

BREAKING: Judge Rebecca Pennell ruled that ICE supervisory detention officer Jeremy Burlingame can be called back into court so the defense can question him about his Twitter account, which was deleted hours after our story posted. The content of that account, which RANGE reported on exclusively yesterday, is so bad even the prosecution said, “They are horrendous, there’s no other way to put it.”

The Trial of the Spokane 3, Day 4: ‘Under siege.’

A few major themes emerged throughout Thursday, as federal agents and local law enforcement alike were pressed on the idea of deescalation techniques, who gets to express frustration and what kind of behavior justifies violent response.

Six law enforcement officers (three federal and three local) testified about the conditions of the June 11 protest, repeatedly stressing that they didn’t feel safe, they felt like SPD let them down by not assisting earlier and that they were upset by the situation — especially when protesters cheered after the lower parking lot gate closed.

Defense attorneys consistently pushed them on this characterization, asking if any officers were hurt (no), if protesters ever crawled over gates or tried to breach the building (no) and if officers could leave the building (yes, but they didn’t feel safe.)

ICE Agent who testified in the trial of the Spokane 3 may have made a post asking for federal charges for protester the day after the June 11 protest.

A Twitter/X account under the name of a local ICE officer who just testified in the Spokane 3 case shows bigoted and political posts spanning 2 years: calling transgender people mentally ill, a Black politician "lying ghetto garbage," and praising Elon Musk.

Shortly after our story posted, the Twitter account was deleted.

The City of Spokane and Spokane County will hand out filters and fresh water on Saturday for West Plains residents whose wells are contaminated with forever chemicals. The event will take place at the Waste-to-Energy Plant from 10 am to 2 pm.

Both entities were named as liable parties in the contamination crisis, which stems from firefighting chemicals deployed at the Spokane International Airport. (Similar contamination was also caused by Fairchild Air Force Base firefighting operations.)

In a separate development, Spokane County this week accepted a nearly $7.5 million grant from the WA Department of Commerce to fund the filter program.
