Teen Photographer Blinded by Homeland Security Agent During LA Rally
A USC freshman, Tucker Collins, allegedly lost an eye after being shot by a Department of Homeland Security agent with a less-lethal projectile during a “No Kings” protest in Los Angeles on March 28. His attorney, V. James DeSimone, stated that this incident highlights a pattern of law enforcement allegedly targeting journalists and peaceful demonstrators. DeSimone plans to file a federal civil rights lawsuit, asserting that the agent acted in reckless disregard of Collins’ rights. He also noted that federal judges have issued injunctions restricting the use of such projectiles by Homeland Security and ICE agents.
