Finneas Says He Was Tear-Gassed During ICE Protest in L.A.


Finneas has spoken out after being tear-gassed while attending what he called a “very peaceful” protest in downtown Los Angeles.

Officers with the Los Angeles Police Department fired rounds of crowd control munitions to disperse those gathered, with one hitting Tomasi in the leg, prompting her to cry out and grab her calf while continuing to report. “This incident serves as a stark reminder of the inherent dangers journalists can face while reporting from the frontlines of protests, underscoring the importance of their role in providing vital information.” California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the deployment in a letter sent to the White House on Sunday, calling it “a serious breach of state sovereignty.” He was in Los Angeles meeting with law enforcement and local leaders but did not confirm if he had spoken with Trump since the raids began.
