I'm really concerned about this latest development - journalists being detained for doing their job is completely unacceptable 
. It's like they're saying that free press doesn't extend to those covering sensitive stories that challenge the status quo. The fact that these two US journalists were taken away from a peaceful protest, where tensions were high, just highlights how out of touch law enforcement has become with what's happening on the ground.
We've seen this trend before, and it's getting worse - police are increasingly using intimidation tactics to silence reporters who are trying to bring attention to important issues. It's not just about press freedom; it's also about holding those in power accountable for their actions. We need a more nuanced understanding of what's happening here and how we can work towards creating spaces where journalists can report without fear of retribution

I'm all for press freedom, but these journalists were pushing their luck by trying to report live from the protest. The atmosphere was tense, so it's not like they just walked into a coffee shop and started typing away. ICE is a sensitive topic, and I get why law enforcement would want to keep an eye on things. Still, detaining them and taking them to court is a bit extreme... 
I guess that's the price of covering tough stories in a country with strong feelings on both sides. We need journalists like these who are willing to take risks and shine a light on important issues, even if it means going up against the system sometimes. 
just saw this news and I'm totally fed up with it! 2022 had like 127 journalists arrested by law enforcement while doing their job 
and now this latest incident is just another example of how the gov't is cracking down on press freedom 
. Meanwhile, protests are getting more aggressive and I don't blame 'em - those two fatal shootings were absolute travesties 
! 90% of American's think that federal agents should be held accountable for their actions 
, so it's crazy to me that we're still seeing these journalists being intimidated & detained. Can't we just get some solid reporting on this without law enforcement breathing down our necks?
