Mayor Brown released the following statement Thursday on the verdicts in the “Spokane 3” trial: 

“Since the federal charges were filed, I have maintained this prosecution was politically motivated. It was meant to make an example out of people who disagreed with federal immigration policy.  

“The right to peacefully protest and criticize the government is a cornerstone of our democracy. 

“We cannot allow these verdicts to silence us.”
