A 14-year-old has been charged with attempted murder following the stabbing of a 17-year-old during protests against President Trump's immigration policies in downtown Los Angeles. The incident occurred during ongoing protests against mass deportation efforts. The teenager has pleaded not guilty and is slated to return to court next month. Prosecutors and law enforcement stress the need for safe expression of views amidst rising tensions, reflecting on California laws that limit juvenile court prosecutions.
"Violence has no place in our public spaces. We understand that people have the right to express their views, but this right must be exercised with respect for others' safety."
"Thousands flocked downtown earlier this month, marching and briefly shutting down a stretch of the 101 Freeway in protest of Trump's aggressive immigration policies."
