COAST TO COAST Covering the Fight Against Trump's ICE Raids
Our Ashley Bishop is LIVE from a big Stop ICE protest in NYC; later tonight our Tina-Desiree Berg will report LIVE from the war zone known as Los Angeles.
As Trump’s storm troopers continue unleashing senseless violence and chaos in Los Angeles, Status Coup is COVERING IT ALL coast-to-coast.
Right now, our reporter Ashley Bishop is LIVE in NYC covering a big protest against ICE’s deportation raids in NYC, LA, and the rest of the country.
“Move ICE, get out the way, get out the way!” protesters chanted at the NYC protest. "The oppressors may succeed in disappearing a few of us, however what they will never be able to erase is history,” another protester said. “Therefore, we choose to be on the right side of history and that is on the side of our undocumented siblings. Our oppressors can remove books, literature, and bodies—but they can not remove the will of the people.”

As Ashley reported yesterday, police have been unleashing holy hell on protesters and journalists in LA, wildly shooting at protesters with so-called “less lethal” bullets (they’re actually plenty lethal when struck at point blank range), flash-bang grenades, tear gas, pepper spray, and more.
During Tina’s reporting, she captured horrifying footage of police on horseback TRAMPLING a protester, leaving them sprawled out motionless in the street.

She also captured the moment that videojournalsit Nick Stern, who has done camerawork for Status Coup in the past, was shot at and struck by a 40mm “less lethal” round—seriously injuring him and requiring surgery. Fortunately, he is OK and didn’t sustain more serious injuries.
Now, California Governor Gavin Newsom has filed an emergency lawsuit to stop President Trump from using the marines he deployed to LA to join ICE on deportation raids.
***I had to look again at the above sentence to let it really sink in***
With the situation in LA escalating, and expected to get even more violent, we have hired a cameraman to join Tina in LA so Tina can report LIVE from LA tonight and document the chaos, and frankly, the war zone Trump and his goons have unleashed.
Make sure you’re subscribed to Status Coup on YouTube and subscribed to us here on Substack and X to get a heads up when we go live from LA tonight.
If you haven’t noticed, we’re one of the ONLY INDEPENDENT OUTLETS ON-THE-GROUND getting our hands dirty and risking ourselves to show you the reality of what’s happening on-the-ground (while corporate media does stenography for the police). This reporting costs a lot of money (paying reporters, cameramen, travel costs, equipment, and more).
