Photo by Pierre Lavie. I was tackled by ice agents and surrounded by about 50 border police. Just for taking photos. I tossed my camera to another Photographer to make sure it wouldn’t be confiscated. #gettyreportage #getty at the Whipple Federal building in Minneapolis. @nytimes @leica_boutique_ukraine @leicacamerausa @washpostphoto @leica_camera @leica_fotografie_international @apnews @reuters
Scatto incredibile 🔥

I'm just discovering this photo and your story right now in France. Of course, I'm sharing this photo by Pierre Lavie, which is being shared as a symbol of freedom of information. In Europe, we call journalists "the watchdogs of democracy"... Hang in there, we need journalists, reporters, and photojournalists. Freedom of information, especially regarding the actions of ICE troops, is essential for the US and the world.These police and authoritarian excesses are unacceptable in the world's leading democracy...

That your Leica is still operational is a testament to the endurance required for your mission. Independent journalists are the world's primary witnesses, and your images provide an unfiltered record that history cannot ignore. My deepest sympathies and respect go out to you and your colleagues for the risks you take every day. Stay safe and keep documenting.
