Veteran photographer Michael Nigro was shot in the head with a non-lethal bullet while covering anti-ICE protests in LA. "It felt very very intentional," Nigro tells NPR, "a chilling effect to convince us to go away."
Other reporters say they have been targeted too.

Disgusting and unacceptable.
Manhandling, throwing to the ground, and handcuffing a duly elected U.S. Senator for conducting oversight is what you see from fascist, authoritarian regimes.
If it can happen to him, it can happen to any of us.

Afterwards, Sen. Padilla framed what happened in exactly the right way:

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.
