In Los Angeles, local media report about a dozen people were arrested Thursday night as protests continued over the violent police eviction of hundreds of unhoused people living in an encampment in the city’s Echo Park. A reporter with the L.A. Times and two reporters with the outlet Knock LA were also detained by police while covering Thursday’s protest. The expulsion of unhoused people from Echo Park comes after residents of the gentrified neighborhood complained to city officials and police about the encampment. Unhoused organizers say there is a major shortage of permanent and affordable housing options in L.A.
