Draft:Donald Trump targeting of journalists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For broader U.S. list of incidents, see Draft:List of attacks against journalists in the United States.


THIS IS A WORK-IN-PROGRESS DRAFT.

IT SHOULD REFERENCE EXCERPTS FROM Draft:Government attacks on journalists in the United States FOR THE MATERIAL SECTION ONCE EXPANDED UPON.


Draft:List of attacks against journalists by Donald Trump catalogs rhetorical, legal/administrative, and material (physical or policing) actions affecting journalists that are associated with Donald Trump’s political career. Coverage spans the 2015–16 campaign, the 2017–2021 presidency, the 2020 campaign, and the 2025– presidency. Incidents include (a) Trump’s direct rhetoric toward the press; (b) policies or actions by his campaign, White House, or executive-branch departments during his administrations; and (c) physical assaults, arrests, or equipment damage that occurred at Trump events or during law-enforcement operations in his presidential terms. Where relevant, this draft notes when there is no public evidence that Trump personally ordered a specific arrest or use of force.

According to Reporters Without Borders (RSF), the United States has experienced “its first significant and prolonged decline in press freedom in modern history,” and Trump’s return to the presidency “is greatly exacerbating the situation.”[1] U.S. press-freedom monitors have documented escalating assaults, arrests, equipment damage and seizures, cyberattacks, and doxxing directed at journalists since Trump’s 2016 campaign, with spikes during protest coverage and around Trump campaign rallies.[2][3][4][5][6]

Rhetorical attacks on journalists

[edit]

“Fake news,” “enemy of the people,” and delegitimization (2015–2021; 2025– )

[edit]

Beginning in 2015, Trump routinely labeled unfavorable coverage as “fake news” and called the press the “enemy of the people.” Press-freedom groups and news organizations criticized these phrases as delegitimizing newsgathering and correlating with heightened harassment and threats directed at reporters and specific outlets. [citation needed] Trump also threatened to “open up” libel laws and suggested regulatory retaliation against broadcasters he criticized. [citation needed]

Targeting individual reporters and outlets at events and online (2015–2020)

[edit]

At rallies and on social media, Trump singled out specific journalists and outlets by name, prompting hostile crowd reactions toward press pens and requiring security escorts for reporters at some events. [citation needed] In August 2015, his campaign had Univision anchor Jorge Ramos removed from a news conference before later allowing him to return and ask questions. [citation needed] In October 2018, at a rally in Missoula, Montana, Trump praised Rep. Greg Gianforte for assaulting a reporter the previous year; press organizations condemned the remark as normalizing violence against journalists. [citation needed]

Legal and administrative actions affecting the press

[edit]

Campaign and White House credential restrictions (2016–2019)

[edit]

During the 2016 campaign, Trump’s team revoked or denied press credentials to outlets including The Washington Post, Politico, BuzzFeed News, and The Des Moines Register for extended periods, limiting access to rallies and press areas. [citation needed] In November 2018, the White House revoked CNN correspondent Jim Acosta’s hard pass after a briefing-room exchange; a federal court ordered temporary restoration and the administration issued revised credential rules criticized as overbroad. [citation needed] In 2019, the White House suspended the pass of Playboy correspondent Brian Karem after a Rose Garden incident; an appeals court ordered his access restored. [citation needed] Late in 2019, the Trump campaign announced it would deny credentials to Bloomberg News reporters at campaign events following the outlet’s coverage policies. [citation needed]

Department of Justice actions in leak probes (2017–2020; disclosed 2021)

[edit]

Under Trump, the DOJ secretly sought phone and/or email records from reporters at several outlets in leak investigations; affected journalists were notified in 2021, prompting bipartisan criticism and subsequent DOJ policy changes limiting compulsory process to the press. [citation needed]

[edit]

Federal prosecutors in Washington, D.C., pursued felony “rioting” and related charges against individuals arrested during the January 20, 2017 Inauguration Day protests, including several journalists; most press cases ended in dismissal or acquittal (see material section below). There is no public evidence Trump personally directed arrests or charging decisions. [citation needed] Separately, in 2019 the DOJ unsealed and expanded Espionage Act charges against Julian Assange, a move criticized by press-freedom groups as risking criminalization of core publishing activity. [citation needed] Trump and his campaign also filed defamation suits against major outlets including The New York Times, The Washington Post, and CNN related to opinion pieces or analysis columns; several suits were dismissed or narrowed. [citation needed]

Department of Homeland Security surveillance and reporting on journalists (2018–2020)

[edit]

In late 2018 and 2019, DHS components tracked and subjected journalists covering the U.S.–Mexico border to secondary screening as part of operations around migrant caravans; media lawyers and rights groups criticized the practice as retaliatory and chilling. [citation needed] In 2020, DHS’s intelligence office produced “intelligence reports” about journalists who published leaked documents related to Portland protests; the practice was halted following internal review and public criticism. [citation needed]

Administrative restrictions on student journalists during Trump’s second term (2025)

[edit]

In May 2025, following NYPD arrests during a protest inside Columbia University’s Butler Library, Columbia and Barnard issued interim suspensions barring dozens of students—including reporters from Columbia Daily Spectator and WKCR—from campus activities alongside participants. Press advocates criticized the inclusion of credentialed student journalists in mass discipline during Trump’s second term; the actions were taken by university administrators, not federal authorities.[7][8][9][10][11]

Material attacks on journalists

2016 - 2017: Standing Rock / Dakota Access Pipeline violence against journalists

[edit]

Journalists covering camp clearances near the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation documented arrests, baton and shield strikes, directed “less-lethal” rounds, and equipment seizures or damage across late 2016 and into January–February 2017 as federal and state operations continued into Trump’s first weeks in office. There is no public evidence Trump personally ordered arrests or use of force against journalists. [citation needed]

List of notable incidents involving journalists
[edit]
Under Barack Obama (Oct–Dec 2016)

Incidents from October–December 2016 fall under the prior administration and are summarized in the broader U.S. list; see Draft:List of attacks against journalists in the United States – U.S. attacks against journalists within the country for detailed chronology and citations. This Trump-focused draft tracks the transition point because operations and press impacts continued into early 2017. [citation needed]

Under Donald Trump (Jan–Feb 2017)
[edit]
  • Feb. 1, 2017 — Jenni Monet arrest and prosecution: Independent journalist Jenni Monet was arrested while reporting, jailed overnight, and charged with criminal trespass and engaging in a riot; after a protracted case, charges were dismissed/acquitted. [citation needed]
  • Continued reports in Jan–Feb 2017 include directed impact rounds at media positions, baton/shield strikes during line pushes, custodial arrests in sweeps, and temporary seizure/damage of cameras and storage media documented by press-freedom groups. [citation needed]

2017: Inauguration Day violence and prosecution against journalists

[edit]

On January 20, 2017, MPD used kettling tactics near 12th and L Streets NW, arresting more than 200 people, including multiple journalists. Reporters described baton and shield strikes during line pushes, directed pepper spray at close range, and the seizure or damage of cameras and protective gear—even when identifying as media. Under the incoming Trump administration, federal prosecutors pursued felony “rioting” and related charges against arrestees, including several journalists; most press cases were dismissed or ended in acquittal. There is no public evidence that Trump personally ordered arrests or prosecutions. [citation needed]

List of notable incidents involving journalists

[edit]
  • Evan Engel (charges dismissed), Jack Keller (charges dropped), Alexander Rubinstein (dismissed), Alexei Wood (acquitted in Dec. 2017), Shay Horse (dismissed), and Aaron Cantu (indicted; case dismissed in 2018). [citation needed]
  • Oversight reviews criticized aspects of MPD’s mass-arrest tactics; civil suits alleged unconstitutional arrests and force, and the District later reached settlements with some plaintiffs. [citation needed]

2017 - 2020: Donald Trump's first presidency

[edit]

Campaign-adjacent and rally incidents (2019)

[edit]
  • February 11, 2019 — El Paso rally: A man rushed the press platform and attacked BBC cameraman Ron Skeans as the crowd jeered the media area; security removed the assailant. The BBC and press-freedom groups condemned the hostile rally climate around the press pen. [citation needed]

2019: Puerto Rico summer protests violence against journalists

[edit]

During mass demonstrations in Old San Juan demanding Governor Ricardo Rosselló’s resignation, Puerto Rico Police Bureau riot units conducted repeated night clears near La Fortaleza. Journalists reported baton and shield strikes, impact-munition fire, close-range pepper spray, brief detentions, and gear damage while documenting clashes—often while visibly identified as press. [citation needed]

2020: Nationwide protest coverage during the George Floyd/BLM period

[edit]

Press-freedom trackers documented hundreds of assaults, arrests, equipment seizures, and access denials affecting working journalists across U.S. cities during Trump’s term.[12][13]

  • Minneapolis (May 29–30, 2020): Freelance photojournalist Linda Tirado suffered a permanent eye injury after being struck by a projectile while photographing confrontations; a Reuters TV crew reported being shot with rubber bullets by police, injuring a cameraman and damaging equipment.[14][15]
  • Minneapolis (May 29, 2020): A CNN crew—Omar Jimenez, Bill Kirkos, and Leonel Mendez—were arrested live on air by Minnesota State Patrol while clearly identifying as press; they were released after a gubernatorial apology.[16][17]
  • Washington, D.C. (June 1, 2020): Near Lafayette Square, Australian 7NEWS reporter Amelia Brace and cameraman Tim Myers were struck and shoved by police with shields and batons while broadcasting; Australia lodged a diplomatic complaint.[18][19]
  • Portland, Oregon (July–August 2020): A federal judge barred police from arresting, dispersing, or using force against journalists and legal observers identifiable as such absent probable cause; a similar order later applied to federal agents around the courthouse.[20][21]

2025: Incidents during Trump’s second term

[edit]

Incidents during June 2025 Los Angeles protests

[edit]
This section is an excerpt from June 2025 Los Angeles protests against mass deportation.[edit]

On June 6, 2025, protests began in Los Angeles after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided several city locations to arrest individuals allegedly involved in illegal immigration to the United States. Some protests turned into riots after protestors clashed with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and ICE,[a] but most remained peaceful and occurred within a small stretch of downtown Los Angeles.[b]

On June 7, protestors and federal law enforcement agents clashed in Paramount and Compton during raids. President Donald Trump responded by federalizing the California National Guard, calling for 2,000 guard members to deploy to the city under Joint Task Force 51. Protests were organized and attended by multiple groups and unaffiliated protestors. On June 9, the president authorized the deployment of an additional 2,000 National Guard members, and the Pentagon activated 700 Marines to deploy to the city, who arrived the next day. Critics, including California governor Gavin Newsom (who has sued Trump over the federalization), described the military response as premature, inflammatory, for political gain, and authoritarian. Reuters reported that the protests were the strongest domestic backlash to Trump since he took office in January, and became a focal point in a national debate over immigration, protest, the use of federal force in domestic affairs, the boundaries of presidential power, and freedom of speech and assembly.

On July 11, U.S. District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong concluded that the administration likely violated immigrants' rights and ordered a stop to immigration arrests without probable cause, alleging that the administration targeted California residents based on race, language and place of work.[35] The ruling was upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.[36] On September 3, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled the deployment of the military illegal and a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, and ordered the administration not to use National Guard or military troops for civilian law enforcement in California. Breyer found the rationale for deployment as contrived, writing that "There was no rebellion, nor was civilian law enforcement unable to respond to the protests and enforce the law."[37] Prosecutors failed to secure indictments for the majority of protestors charged and dropped several cases after DHS agents were found to have made false statements.[38]

The anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles inspired additional anti-ICE protests in other U.S. cities, such as New York, Chicago, and Dallas.

The Associated Press reported that by June 10, over two dozen journalists had been arrested or "roughed up" by law enforcement, leading press freedom groups to question whether or not they were being deliberately targeted. Reporters Without Borders reported 35 attacks on journalists, of which 30 were from law enforcement.[39] The Committee to Protect Journalists, the First Amendment Coalition, and Freedom of the Press Foundation expressed concern in a letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem that "federal officers appear to have deliberately targeted journalists who were doing nothing more than their job covering the news."[39] The secretary of the Los Angeles Press Club reported that the organization had documented more than 30 incidents where police actions affected reporters, photographers, and other media professionals, ranging from searching their materials and bags to firing tear gas and rubber bullets, and said the club was aware of 20 injuries to journalists during the protests, including at least five requiring medical attention.[40]

Australia

[edit]

On June 8, Lauren Tomasi, a reporter for Australia's Nine News, was struck on the leg by a rubber bullet while reporting on the protests outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, where police were beginning to disperse the protesters.[41][42][43] Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the shooting "targeted" and said he had raised the issue with the Trump administration.[44] The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade released a statement declaring that "all journalists should be able to do their work safely".[45] Albanese also described the footage of the reporter being shot by an officer as "horrific" and said he intended to raise the issue with the Trump administration over the incident.[44][46] Albanese and senator Matt Canavan both said Tomasi's shooting appeared targeted, with Canavan adding he had only seen part of the footage and was "loth to jump to conclusions".[44][45]

That same day, while covering the protests, crew members from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation were struck by tear gas.[47] On June 10, the same crew were struck by pepper pellets,[48] and a cameraman from Channel Nine was shot at.[49]

China

[edit]

On June 8, while covering protests in downtown Los Angeles, a Xinhua News Agency reporter was hit twice by tear gas canisters, while a photojournalist was struck in the left leg by rubber bullets, resulting in a bruised and swollen wound.[50][51]

South Korea

[edit]

SBS reported on June 11 that one of their reporters was hit by police-fired rubber bullets during a protest.[52]

United Kingdom

[edit]

On June 7, British reporter and photographer Nick Stern was shot with a less-than-lethal 3-inch (75 mm) projectile. He suffered an open wound and underwent emergency surgery on June 8. His injuries will require physical therapy.[53][54]

On June 9, an ITV presenter for the program Good Morning Britain was shot with a rubber bullet during a broadcast segment.[55]

United States

[edit]

On June 7, World Socialist Web Site reporters reportedly sustained injuries while documenting the protests, including a reporter who was shot in the back with a rubber bullet by a US immigration officer.[56] That same day, a reporter with the Southern California News Group reported that she had been shot by officers with pepper ball bullets.[40]

On June 8, a reporter for The New York Times was shot at but was not seriously injured.[57] On June 9, Toby Canham, a news photographer with the New York Post was recording California Highway Patrol officers stationed under a freeway to document the protests and response. While filming, one of the California Highway Patrol officers reportedly turned their weapon towards the gathered reporters and shot, striking Canham in the forehead with a rubber bullet.[58][59]

On June 10, crime reporter Ryanne Mena and videographer Sean Beckner-Carmitchel for the Los Angeles Daily News were shot by non-lethal rounds.[60]
