Usually, people understand that reporters are not to be harmed and should be allowed to cover events truthfully as they unfold. But ICE agents don’t appear to share that belief, as it has become increasingly common for them to obstruct journalists who are simply doing their jobs. Recently, in Washington DC, an alarming example took place when an NPR reporter, known online as chiaraeisner on TikTok, attempted to document one of their operations.
