We just filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for violating our First Amendment rights. Subscribe to thesouthlander.com and read our latest newsletter, which gives a more in-depth account of the ICE protests in LA and the injuries our reporters sustained on the ground.
