King County public defender among 30 arrested after Antifa occupation of University of Washington building
The Post Millennial ^ | 5/6/25 | Katie Daviscourt and Ari Hoffman

On Monday, authorities arrested more than 30 individuals who seized and occupied the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building at the University of Washington to protest Israel and its war against Hamas terrorists. Among those arrested was a King County public defender and several affiliates of the left-wing extremist group Antifa. All of them were booked into local jails on criminal trespassing charges, with a bail set at $1,000, according to records.

It's unclear if the apprehended individuals were students and/or outside agitators. The King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office said in a statement that more than two dozen protesters have been charged with gross misdemeanor offenses, and several of them have had initial court appearances. The majority of the protesters have already been released from custody, jail records show.

The University of Washington campus police released the names of the individuals who were taken into custody, identifying them as: Cade Jackson; Catherine Marie Brown; Claire "Jamie" Elizabeth Berger; Jonas Simms Piper; Brett Anthony Anton; Ricardo Colon-Galvez; Ty Olson Park; Lucy Belle Zern; Tayler Christine Hart; Kimaya Mahajan; Lea Keating; Roberta Lee Collison; Jade Chen Wu; Julia Claire Fraczek; Luisa Guadalupe Ortega Subdiaz; Yafate Yared; Ella Chenai Tunduwani; Akira Lynn Junyaprusert; Jessica Shutz; Giner Ann Newberry; Yasmin Ponsakaew Ahmed; Gina Sijia Liu; Bailey Cunningham Keen; Sam Sueoka; Finn Oliver Brown; Max Rulff; and Iman Tasbeet.

Sam Sueoka, one of the arrested individuals, has been identified as a King County public defender who has represented criminal anti-Israel protesters in the past. The KC Public Defenders Office declined to comment

“If any of them traveled across a State line the FBI needs to be all over them RFN.”

If any of them used a telephone to call across state lines . . .

If any of them ate a hamburger that day and the beef crossed state lines . . .

If any of them took a leak in the watershed of a navigable waterway . . .

The University’s engineering dept most likely gets some federal funding.
That’s enough right there

Nothing will happen to those arrested because you’re talking about the most liberal leftist demoncRAT city outside of Olympia in the State.

Notes
Sam M. Sueoka (DOB: 07/12/95) is a Seattle University law student and police abolitionist who could be a personification of the cancel culture. He attempted to cancel the university’s chapter of the Federalist Society (Conservative group) in 2021. The Federalist Society’s offense was its refusal to condemn Sen. Ted Cruz which really pissed off the radicals. In 2021 he lead an effort to have legal data provider Lexis banned from campus since they have a contract with ICE.
He works as an intern for the ACLU. Sueoka admits to attending Seattle riots/protests in the summer of 2020. He filed a request for the names of Seattle police officers who were present at the “Stop the Steal” rally in D.C. The officers later sued to block release of their names.
Sueoka is from the big island of Hawaii and attended the Pacific Buddhist Academy and earned a B.A. in race and ethnic studies from the University of Redlands in California. He wants to be a public defender when he grows up.

There were manufacturing machines inside the Engineering Building. The protesters broke in the building at 5 PM and the police arrived at 9 PM to arrest those inside. During that time, they destroyed $1 million worth of equipment. The Engineering Building was built with money donated by Boeing—$10 million.

“… earned a B.A. in race and ethnic studies from the University of Redlands in California. He wants to be a public defender when he grows up.”

What a CV. A “studies” degree?

“When he grows up”??? The guy is 26 years old. He’s not even on mommy’s health insurance anymore.
