CNN Reporter Detained by LA Riot Police Live on Air

  • During live reporting on the Los Angeles protests Monday, CNN’s national correspondent Jason Carroll was temporarily held by Los Angeles police.
  • The detention appears to violate a 2022 California law protecting journalists covering protests in police-restricted areas.
  • Carroll identified himself to officers and complied by putting his hands behind his back but was neither arrested nor zip-tied before being escorted away.
  • An officer said, "We're letting you go," but warned, "If you come back, you will be arrested," while Carroll explained, "I tried to explain who I was."
  • The incident highlights ongoing tensions as Los Angeles police and federal forces respond to protests, with California objecting to large National Guard deployments.
