In New York, a journalist was hospitalized after masked federal agents assaulted a group of reporters documenting ICE arrests outside immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan. Video footage of Tuesday’s attack shows amNewYork’s journalist Dean Moses attempting to enter an elevator where masked agents had followed two women, when he was shoved out, with an agent shouting, “Get out of the f**king elevator.” Olga Fedorova, who freelances for the Associated Press, was pushed, knocking her down, as well as Vural Elibol of the Turkish news agency Anadolu, who seriously injured his head after he hit the floor. DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin defended the agents’ actions, claiming the reporters had “obstructed operations.”
