US EditionPress group sues LAPD, city over actions during anti-ICE protests
- On Monday, a federal lawsuit was initiated by the Los Angeles Press Club together with the investigative network Status Coup against the LAPD, accusing the department of violating journalists' rights during protests opposing immigration enforcement in Los Angeles.
- The lawsuit follows reports of police shooting journalists with less-lethal munitions, detaining them without cause, and blocking them in violation of Senate Bill 98 passed after the 2020 protests.
- The protests began June 7, involved mostly peaceful daytime actions but violent nighttime clashes, and by Tuesday, LAPD arrested 575 protesters, including individuals charged with assault and arson.
- City Administrative Officer Szabo estimated the protests cost roughly $20 million, mostly covered by reserves, while Mayor Bass ended the curfew Tuesday, pledging to defend peaceful protest but punish criminal behavior.
- The lawsuit and protest costs highlight tensions between public safety, press freedom, and law enforcement accountability with LAPD continuing strong deployment and a Police Commission review planned.
