In Los Angeles, Police Shot a Woman During Protests

• A woman was injured by police during protests against immigration actions.
• The incident was captured on video, showing police shooting the woman at close range.
• The protests were sparked by public outrage over the operations of immigration services.

This is reported by The Guardian, Marca.

In Los Angeles, during protests against immigration agency actions, police recorded the moment a woman was struck by a "less lethal" projectile at close range. This occurred as the woman was walking alone near her home, and in a video taken by a witness, police can be seen ordering her to leave the area.

When the woman attempted to walk past, one of the officers shot at her, and she, feeling the impact, retreated. In the video, she can be heard saying, "I live here." The witness who recorded the incident approached the crying victim and helped her sit down.

The Los Angeles Police Department has not yet commented on the incident. "Less lethal" munitions, such as rubber bullets, are sometimes used during protests to disperse crowds, but despite their name, these munitions can cause serious injuries and even lead to death.

The protests in Los Angeles began following operations by immigration services in the garment district, which sparked public outrage. Kim Kardashian expressed her outrage over ICE's actions, calling them "inhumane" and calling for change.

Also during the protests, Australian journalist Lauren Thomas was injured by a rubber bullet while covering the events live. This highlights the dangers that journalists may face while reporting on protests.
