A 21 year old protester in Santa Ana says he lost sight in his left eye after being struck by a projectile fired by a federal agent during a demonstration. Video shows the man and others stepping toward officers as agents moved to detain someone. The incident raises questions about personal responsibility, crowd control tactics, and the slim legal odds protesters face when they put themselves in harm’s way.
A Latin Kings member, Raul Gutierrez, was arrested after video showed someone breaking into a federal vehicle and stealing a rifle and ammunition during riots in Minneapolis. The arrest followed chaotic protests after an ICE agent shot a Venezuelan migrant in self defense. Federal officials say Gutierrez has a long criminal history and is tied to gang threats against federal agents.
