Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he’s contacted the U.S. government over what he called the “horrific” shooting by L.A. police of Australian reporter Lauren Tomasi, who was hit by a rubber bullet while she covered the protests. The group Reporters Without Borders condemned attacks on journalists covering the demonstrations in L.A., which have impacted at least 27 media workers between Friday and Sunday.

Meanwhile, the city of Glendale in Los Angeles County announced Sunday night it’s ending its agreement with the Department of Homeland Security to detain immigrants arrested by ICE amid the popular revolt.
