Federal Agents Shoot U.S. Marshal and Undocumented Immigrant in Los Angeles
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

As immigration raids ramp up across the country, ICE agents in Los
Angeles, California, shot and wounded two people in a botched operation
Tuesday. The agents reportedly shot an immigrant from Mexico they were
attempting to arrest. A bullet then ricocheted and wounded a U.S.
Marshal. The person ICE targeted has been identified as Carlitos Ricardo
Parias, who is a popular Tik Tok streamer with over 100,000 followers
and often documents ICE raids. He now faces criminal charges.

Here in New York, dozens of federal agents, many of them with face
coverings, flooded Lower Manhattan Tuesday afternoon as they targeted
immigrant street vendors, most of them from Africa. As news spread of
the raids, several people took to the streets in protest.
