A federal jury tonight found Martin Diaz, the Spokane man fighting deportation, “not guilty” of assaulting a Border Patrol agent when they tackled him outside of his home earlier this year. He has been in the U.S. since he was 2 years old. Link to prior coverage: www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

This week’s cover story features Donna Miser, who, like thousands of women, got what’s often referred to as the “sling” procedure to help with urinary incontinence. The plastic mesh (and method) used has created horrific complications for her and many others www.inlander.com/news/airway-...

Sarah (Clark) Doxey. Total badass. This photo is from 2016, taken on our family’s first trip to the Oregon coast. She was watching our children play when I took this photo. Tell your loved ones how much you love them every day. www.inlander.com/news/friends...

Our friend Erick, who is a photojournalist in the Inland NW, lost his wife Sarah after she was struck by a car while on her morning run. I am so grateful he trusted me to write a story about the ‘90s punk, headstrong, powerful type of person she was — More: www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Today, U.S. Marshals arrested nine people in Spokane who protested outside of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility on June 11 in an attempt to block the agents from transporting two men legally seeking asylum to ICE's detention facility in Tacoma.

This morning, federal agents arrested & search homes of multiple people who were protesting against ICE arrests in Spokane on June. This is a photo from the father of one of the protesters www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Spokane activists were arrested by federal agents in connection to ICE protests on June 11, including Justice Forral, Erin Lang and former city council president Ben Stuckart, who were previously arrested on June 11. Organizer Jac Archer, who was not arrested June 11, was also arrested this morning.

Law enforcement is investigating a surge of suspicious fires reported throughout Spokane over the past few days.

NEW: We now have a special section on the Spokesman’s website for the shootings on Canfield Mountain. Here’s everything. www.spokesman.com/sections/can...

We are updating as we go. www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

A thing I noticed yesterday: there was misinformation about the shootings/fire in CDA spreading because people were quoting the site “Spokane News.” A reminder that Spokane News is not a good source with fact checking. Follow @alexdugganreports.bsky.social and other local reporters please!

Christine Myron, spokesperson for Idaho’s largest health care system St. Luke’s, told States Newsroom via email that the time to get an appointment with an OB-GYN has increased over the last two years in all of their service areas, which include every region of the state.

Federal helicopters are here. They took off. Life flight is around. Everyone from everywhere is here. I have a family friend who works for the Fire department here. I am praying really hard.

Idaho banned abortion. Three years later, minors & seniors struggle to get routine care. Of all the outcomes Rachel Castor could have predicted from Idaho’s abortion ban, her teenage son being denied hospital admission during an asthma attack wasn’t on the list. Recent work for @statesnewsroom.com

For this week’s @inlander.com cover story, I spent a day at Silverwood to meet and photograph the folks who make it run and the folks who get to enjoy the fruits of that labor. I even managed to write a few words as well….

I know we are focused on the war right now… but if you want to divert your attention to a former firefighter that has a FIRE museum in his Spokane backyard and lived a crazy life, here it is. Btw, go to his museum. He wants people to come and care about fire. www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Just after the Pride Parade had concluded and while the No Kings protest was happening in downtown Spokane, conservative musician and anti-LGBTQ+ activist Sean Feucht headlined Jesus Fest 25 in the Garland District in north Spokane.

1/3 📷 for @inlander.com of protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s deportation actions, Wednesday, June 11, 2025, in Spokane, Wash. www.inlander.com/news/police-...

When two protests against deportation actions by federal agents met up on Washington Street Wednesday evening, the city issued a curfew and multiple police agencies filed into the area to push protesters away from an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

Video shared from a protestor shows a wider angle of protestors and our reporter getting pushed back by purported law enforcement agents at the ICE office in #spokane

Border Patrol in masks in the valley. They destroyed the inside of a man’s home looking for his birth certificate. The chemical agent they used in the home is still burning my eyes. One arrest.

NEW: This small North Idaho town kept to itself. Then a church asked the U.S. government to intervene. “I sent an email to the Justice Department,” said Matt Meyer, an elder in the Christ the Redeemer church. “I said, … ‘I think I’m being discriminated against.’” www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Everyone should watch the new episode of John Oliver and support your local/independent journalists 1000% more than you already do.

NEW: No fuel for chainsaws. Expired medical supplies. The approaching wildfire season is going to be even riskier for firefighters this year - among the staff cuts from the Trump admin also lies cuts to supply funds firefighters need immediate access to. www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

How’s my night going? Well, my father, who doesn’t really like to read the news all that much, just sent me a photo of him wearing a shirt that says “America Needs Journalists” and I started hysterically sobbing.
