Protestors call for release of detainees outside ICE building in downtown Atlanta
Protestors demanded that one of their own be released from ICE detainment on Monday. SEIU California president David Huerta is in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody in California. Union of Southern Service Workers said ICE agents wrongfully assaulted and detained Huerta. 'We are demanding his freedom today also the freedom of the other immigrant workers who are being unjustly detained,' USSW Protestor Shaekia Calhoun told Channel 2's Audrey Washington. In a Twitter post, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli defended the detainment and said Huerta deliberately obstructed agents as they attempted to execute a warrant at a L.A. worksite.

An Australian Reporter Was Shot By A Rubber Bullet On Live TV While Covering The L.A. Protests
Over the weekend, protesters took to the streets in Los Angeles to speak out against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids that have been taking place in the city. At least 56 people were arrested over the weekend as a result. On Saturday evening, US President Donald Trump announced the deployment of 2,000 National Guard soldiers to Los Angeles to quell the protests — a decision that's been denounced by California Governor Gavin Newsom as "[escalating] chaos and violence in LA." The governor also says he's filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration. An example of said chaos is this video that 9 News Australia shared on Twitter, in which the news organization's US Correspondent Lauren Tomasi was shot with a rubber bullet while covering the protests. @9NewsAUS / Via As this Twitter user points out, a Los Angeles Police Department officer seemingly fired a shot directly at the reporter while she was on camera.
