News organizations are demanding that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) protect reporters from police violence.
This comes after a year of dramatically increased attacks on journalists by law enforcement. Advocacy groups say tensions are especially high at protests over immigration raids.
In recent months, major news outlets and the Reporters Committee for the Freedom of the Press have sent letters to DHS officials. They are asking for new talks to reduce confrontations between officers and journalists.
The goal is to ensure reporters can safely cover protests, particularly those involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.
