Federal agents grabbed and shoved journalists in a hallway outside a New York City immigration court on Tuesday, sending one to the hospital in the latest clash between authorities enforcing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown and members of the public seeking to observe and document their actions.
A visual journalist identified as L. Vural Elibol of the Turkish news agency Anadolu hit his head on the floor at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pushed one journalist off a public elevator and shoved another journalist to the floor, according to video and witnesses.
The foreign news media in the USA should start to roll in MRAPs and wear bulletproof vests/helmets. Like when CNN was in Iraq.
Because the US has elected Saddam Hussein.
“grab and shove” is the nazi propaganda way of saying “They battered a journalist with a press pass covering an event”. They should jail anyone that attacked the journalists.
The police sure are pussies when it comes to nazis attacking citizens. Because they support nazis anyway. Prove me wrong, pigs. Arrest some ICE breaking the law.
Yup, cops are a right-wing paramilitary organization who are working to enact the reactionary agenda.
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin defended the agents’ actions, saying they were being “swarmed by agitators and members of the press, which obstructed operations.”
I don’t even know what she looks like, but anytime I see this lady’s name, I know she’s only popping up to downplay something awful DHS has done.
99% chance she’s blonde and probably has resting bitch face. That’s basically been a right wing requirement for decades. There’s a few exceptions, but that seems to be what it takes to get to any public position.
