Press group sues LAPD, city over actions during anti-ICE protests
- On Monday, a federal lawsuit was filed in California by a coalition of press organizations, including Status Coup and the Los Angeles Press Club, accusing the LAPD and Chief McDonnell of violating journalists’ rights during anti-ICE demonstrations.
- The suit alleges LAPD officers used excessive force, blocked journalists' lawful access, and violated state and constitutional press protections during recent protests.
- Journalists were shot with less-lethal rounds, including Australian reporter Lauren Tomasi who was shot while live broadcasting, and others were forcibly removed or injured despite displaying press credentials.
- L.A. City Administrative Officer Szabo stated the protests cost the city roughly $20 million, largely from the LAPD’s $17 million expenses, with officers accumulating over $11 million in overtime.
- The lawsuit requests the court to issue an order halting further infringements and highlights ongoing concerns about the LAPD’s repeated failure to uphold press freedoms amid costly and unprecedented deployments by the city.
