Photojournalists play critical role documenting ICE Photographers covering ICE raids share tips for getting the shot, staying safe, and defending a free press

Frontline journalists should read the specifics of any emergency order and ask: "How do I protect myself, and how do I push back against laws that I feel are unjust, immoral, unconscionable, or that get in the way of freedom of the press?" @movementphotog.bsky.social writes in @prismreports.org.
