We’re suing the LASD
We just filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for violating our First Amendment rights. Subscribe to thesouthlander.com and read our latest newsletter, which gives a more in-depth account of the ICE protests in LA and the injuries our reporters sustained on the ground.

Zach Boetto was at the Compton/ Paramount protest, and I overheard him and his entire crew say how scared they were going into the crowd to cover the protest. I took a selfie of the moment because KTLA has a massive budget while I’m there with my cellphone.

ICE was seen near a Home Depot and a meat factory in Paramount on Saturday, June 7th. News spread quickly, prompting the community to rally in defense of the undocumented workers targeted for arrest by ICE.

Are you curious about the experience of journalists on the ground at the protests in Los Angeles this weekend? Tune in to kpfa.org at 10 a.m. to hear from @bencamach0.bsky.social about his perspective.

While some of our reporters will be on the ground at City Hall covering the protests, we will also be hosting our first tabling event in the South Bay. Drop by the event to chat with some of our members about the state of local news and how we can better serve the communities we cover.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Our worker-owned newsroom exists to serve communities throughout the Southland, many of which are poorly covered or excluded by mainstream media. We want to change that, but we can't do it without your help.
