Journalist taken to the hospital after clash with officer outside immigration court in NY

A photojournalist was taken to a local hospital Tuesday morning after being pushed to the floor by a federal law enforcement officer outside an immigration court in Lower Manhattan. The journalist with Turkey-based Anadolu Agency was placed in a neck brace and transported to a local hospital following a physical confrontation with a federal officer, on the 12th floor of 26 Federal Plaza. The woman, whose husband had been taken into immigration detention, was also taken to a hospital for medical treatment. Another photojournalist entered the elevator, and at one point, a federal officer was heard calling out, "Get out of the f---ing elevator." In New York City and elsewhere, federal agents have been patrolling outside immigration courtrooms and arresting immigrants after their court hearings.
