Police in Massillon, Ohio, are defending their actions after parents of Cardinal Ritter football players raised concerns over the use of pepper spray after last Friday's game.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Press freedom advocates were pleasantly surprised when police in Broadview, Illinois, announced plans to investigate federal immigration officers’ shooting of a local CBS News journalist with pepper balls, and when the Illinois State Police offered help.

But the same advocates were alarmed by subsequent reports of local police assisting federal agents rather than reining them in. They also questioned why widely reported attacks on independent journalists — who have made up a significant majority of those victimized by federal officers while covering the protests — were not being similarly investigated.

Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) led a letter demanding answers today, signed by over 20 local and national press freedom and civil liberties groups that came together to demand protection and justice for independent journalists risking their safety to inform the public.

“ICE’s violent attacks on journalists and others exercising their First Amendment rights, in Broadview and nationwide, should all be thoroughly investigated by the local authorities whose states and municipalities ICE has invaded. Any local law enforcement presence should be solely focused on mitigating the harm ICE is causing to our neighborhoods, our free press, and our Constitution, not on enabling more of it,” said Seth Stern, director of advocacy at FPF.

“The violence and unlawful detainment of members of the press should concern us all. As demonstrations escalate, it’s imperative that authorities allow journalists to do their jobs of documenting what we are seeing on the ground. No one should have their First Amendment rights violated, especially journalists,” said Brandon Pope, president of NABJ-Chicago.

“The Chicago Journalists Association stands with journalists everywhere who are working to keep their communities informed,” the CJA board of directors said. “They should be free to exercise their First Amendment right to freedom of the press without intimidation, whether they’re fully employed by a news organization or practicing independently.”
