Trump’s Immigration Forces Deploy “Less Lethal” Weapons in Dangerous Ways, Skirting Rules and Maiming Protesters
---
Civil rights and weapons experts cite the consequences of federal agents’ use of crowd control weapons: religious leaders shot with pepper balls and noxious chemicals. A nurse nearly blinded by tear gas. Protestors trapped, struggling to breathe.

Someone captured the moment an Australian reporter was shot by a rubber bullet at the anti-ICE protests in LA.
It’s wildly concerning that a country which prides itself on freedom of the press is now shooting at journalists.
Also, watch closely. She was away from the crowds. She was clearly reporting and no threat to anyone.
Yet the agent took direct aim & shot.
This is enraging. This is state sanctioned violence. This is an attack on the press. An attempt to silence.
Keep speaking out.
