Video taken by photographer Stephanie Keith showed that during the struggle, another agent shoved Fedorova, who fell backward toward where Elibol lay on the floor.
Fedorova said photographers had worked in the hallway outside immigration court for months without incident. The agents making arrests Tuesday, she said, didn’t announce any limits where #journalists could go, & they hadn’t made it clear they were making an arrest when they got on the elevator.

The other #journalists, amNewYork police bureau chief Dean Moses & Olga Fedorova, a freelance photographer whose clients include AP, were not seriously injured.

#DHS Asst Secy Tricia McLaughlin defended the agents’ actions, saying they were being “swarmed by agitators & members of the press, which obstructed operations.” She added, “Rioters & sanctuary politicians who encourage individuals to interfere with arrests are actively creating hostile environments….”

"He told them, explicitly. He wants to deploy them to American cities where they will be used to 'quell' disfavored groups, using force.

The generals understand that Trump sees their fellow Americans as his enemies. And they must now realize that at some point, they are likely to be forced to choose between Trump and their oaths to defend the Constitution."

"This is not normal. It’s dangerous af. …

Trump was open about how he wants the military to engage with civilians: He said that 'quell[ing] civil disturbances' is 'going to be a big thing for the people in this room.' …

The entire senior leadership of America’s military has been put on notice. They now understand how Trump intends to use their forces."

"The American left: 'They’re really bad. They’re bad people.' Again, he’s talking about Americans here.

His own domestic political opponents: 'They’re vicious people that we have to fight, just like you have to fight vicious people. Mine are a different kind of vicious.'

American journalists: 'sleazebags.'

Residents of American inner cities: 'animals.'”

"President Trump did not have many bad things to say about America’s foreign adversaries. He spoke about Vladimir Putin in largely neutral terms (only saying he was 'disappointed' in him) and barely mentioned China.

He did, however, speak with great moral clarity about certain classes of Americans whom he views as a grave threat:"

For decades, the #UnitedStates had given shelter to #Iranians fleeing their homeland, which has one of the harshest #HumanRights records in the world. #Iran persecutes #WomensRights activists, #PoliticalDissidents, #journalists & #lawyers, #religious minorities & members of the #LGBTQ community, among others. [just like #Trump.]

I always have to shake my head and smile when people whose accounts are full of hatred for #journalists and the #media want to follow me.

Guys, I *am* a #journalist, heart and soul, and I am damn proud of it!

Do you want to follow me to learn? Or do you just want to offer me a job in gastronomy or on a vegetable sorting line? Why this request?

Try to recommend independent media, link to the good journalists! #JournalismMatters for democracy! Only fascists fight against all media.
