PEN America releases the following statement about the New York journalists injured by masked ICE agents:

"This latest incident is part of an alarming trend of attacks on press freedom by the administration, putting journalists’ safety and the public’s right to information at serious risk."
NEW YORK)— Responding to the violent assault on journalists in New York City today, PEN America's Tim Richardson, program director for Journalism and Disinformation, said: “This violent assault on journalists by ICE officers in New York is another stark example of federal law enforcement and immigration officials failing to respect the essential watchdog role of an independent press,” said Richardson. “This latest incident is part of an alarming trend of attacks on press freedom by the administration, putting journalists’ safety and the public’s right to information at serious risk. Just this past weekend, a journalist was arrested covering ICE-related protests in Chicago and journalist Mario Guevara, who was arrested while covering protests in Georgia, faces possible deportation after more than 100 days in ICE custody.”

This is an absolutely extraordinary, revelatory quote. Why is the NBC affiliate in Portland the only place reporting it? www.kgw.com/article/news...
Trump seems to back off Portland military plan: 'Am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening?'
President Trump had said he will send troops to Portland to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, which he said were "under attack."
