US EditionJournalist Undergoes Emergency Surgery as Shocking Footage Shows Shooting by LAPD During Anti-ICE Protests
- British photographer Nick Stern underwent emergency surgery after being struck by a 14mm sponge bullet while documenting anti-ICE protests in Paramount, Los Angeles, in June 2025.
- The protests erupted following immigration raids aimed at detaining up to 3,000 people daily, prompting deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops by President Trump to quell unrest in Los Angeles.
- Stern, who usually makes himself highly visible to reduce the risk of injury, said protesters assisted in carrying him after he was hurt, and he is now recuperating at a hospital in Long Beach following emergency surgery.
- Trump stated the troop deployment would "step in and solve the problem," while California Governor Gavin Newsom called it "purposefully inflammatory" and a breach of state sovereignty.
- The incident highlights ongoing tensions between federal immigration enforcement and tight-knit Los Angeles communities, suggesting further protests and political disputes may persist.
