Veteran’s Arrest Sparks Outcry
Legal experts and fellow veterans have expressed concern over the arrest of Bajun Mavalwalla II, a former Army sergeant who protested against Trump’s immigration policies. Mavalwalla, who survived a roadside bomb in Afghanistan, was charged with conspiracy after participating in a demonstration in Spokane, Washington.

At the time of his arrest, Mavalwalla was preparing to move into a new home with his partner, purchased with a VA-backed loan after he used his GI Bill benefits to earn a degree.
