TikTok creator and US marshal shot during LA immigration raid

BBC:

A TikTok creator and a US marshal were both injured by gunfire during an immigration enforcement operation in Los Angeles on Tuesday, officials said.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said Carlitos Ricardo Parias, who they said was in the US illegally, allegedly rammed law enforcement vehicles with his car while trying to flee an immigration arrest.

Officers fired shots and struck Mr Parias’ elbow, and a US marshal was hit in the hand by a ricochet bullet, the DHS said. Both were hospitalised with non-life threatening injuries.

Mr Parias, who routinely documents immigration enforcement operations in the Los Angeles area on social media, was charged with assault on a federal officer.
