Tucker Collins, an 18-year-old USC freshman, was shot in the eye with a less-lethal projectile by a Department of Homeland Security agent during a protest in Los Angeles on March 28. His attorney reported that Collins had to have his right eye removed due to the injury. This incident is part of a troubling trend where law enforcement allegedly targets journalists at protests, with multiple cases of severe injuries reported against DHS agents.
