New York Post photographer shot with rubber bullet in LA

The photographer was near the front lines of the confrontation, performing professional duties. After the injury, he was promptly evacuated and taken to a medical facility. Doctors say his condition is stable and not life-threatening.

The incident raised concerns among international and U.S. media organizations. Press unions and human rights groups issued statements urging an investigation and reminded authorities that violence against journalists is unacceptable. Free speech advocacy groups stressed that law enforcement actions must not hinder journalistic work.

These events unfold amid continuing protests sparked by ICE raids, during which dozens of migrants were detained for alleged violations of immigration laws. The raids triggered strong reactions, particularly in communities with large immigrant populations. Demonstrations have sometimes escalated into direct clashes with law enforcement.

In response to the rising tensions, National Guard units were deployed in the city. Police used crowd control tools such as tear gas, flashbang grenades, and rubber bullets. Some areas saw temporary curfews and increased patrols.

The shooting of the photojournalist has become one of the most high-profile episodes in recent days, drawing renewed attention to international standards for journalist protection in conflict zones. Media representatives emphasize the need to ensure press safety, especially amid growing instability.

An internal investigation by relevant authorities is expected. The New York Post issued a formal statement stressing the importance of press freedom and calling for conditions that allow journalists to report freely and safely.

The situation in Los Angeles remains tense. According to city officials, protests continue in multiple neighborhoods, with risks of further spread. In this context, the safety of citizens and the rights of working journalists are now a matter of public and federal concern.
