Lauren Tomasi, a 9News correspondent, was reporting live when an officer behind her suddenly raised their firearm and fired a nonlethal round at close range.
An Australian television journalist was hit in the leg by a rubber bullet Sunday while reporting live from downtown Los Angeles on the large-scale protests over President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown and subsequent deployment of California National Guard troops to the city.
A curfew was imposed in downtown Los Angeles to calm demonstrations against federal immigration raids. Tensions flared after President Trump sent troops, and protests spread to other U.S. cities.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta outlined why he and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are suing the Trump administration, saying President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.
The Special Response Teams (SRTs) are tactical units under ICE that use Bear Cat tracked vehicles, long guns and tactical vests in operations considered high risk. They were used in the raid on Sean “Diddy” Combs’ home, for example. They were most recently used in Los Angeles and are seen as among the reasons protests began.
