LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Press Club and investigative reporting network Status Coup today sued the Los Angeles Police Department and its chief, alleging in federal court that reporters’ rights were violated by police while covering recent immigration raids and subsequent civil unrest.

The protests in Los Angeles have seen several episodes in which journalists have been struck by rounds from LAPD.

Demonstrators hit the streets again in L.A. after President Trump deployed the National Guard due to protests against ICE raids.
