CNN correspondent and crew detained and escorted from Los Angeles protest zone
Police detained a CNN crew reporting on protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles. CNN correspondent Jason Carroll said an officer escorted them away from the protest late Monday and warned them to not return. On Sunday, an Australian journalist was hit in the leg by a rubber bullet and a British photographer was similarly injured on Saturday. National Press Club President Mike Balsamo urged officials to stop targeting, detaining, or obstructing journalists, and to guarantee journalists can safely report on demonstrations. Balsamo is law enforcement news editor for The Associated Press.
