I'm searching Getty Images and found some photos credited to the Boston Herald that redact the faces of ICE/federal agents. They don't redact the face of the guy they're arresting.
I'm curious about the ethics of doing this. I don't think I've ever seen this on Getty before.

And reporters wonder why Biden was not able to get voters to connect him with the billions his party invested in their name.
AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022.
For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.”
For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”

The awkward 9-second pause near the end of this clip from Tuesday's Dallas Police Oversight Board meeting is really something.
A board member asked DPD how residents should respond to lawless federal immigration enforcement. After the pause, DPD gave the correct answer. Everyone needs to hear it.
