Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi, reporting for Nine News, was hit by a rubber bullet during the clashes near the Metropolitan Detention Centre.<\/p>\n<p>Tomasi was covering the protests sparked by President Trump\u2019s immigration crackdown when police began firing rubber bullets. A bystander shouted, \u201cYou just f**king shot the reporter,\u201d as Tomasi confirmed she was okay. Footage appeared to show an officer aiming at her.<\/p>\n<p>Nine News confirmed the incident, calling it a reminder of the risks journalists face in such situations.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"LA Protests: Reporter shot with rubber bullet LIVE on TV | 9 News Australia\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t42UBBolOvo?feature=oembed\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Australian Senator Sarah Hanson-Young demanded answers, calling press freedom a core democratic value.
