During the Los Angeles protests, CNN senior investigative reporter Kyung Lah found herself in a tense confrontation with the LAPD. As police moved in to disperse demonstrators, Lah and her crew were told to move behind the police lines. Despite identifying herself as a member of the press and repeatedly stating their CNN affiliation and credentials, the situation escalated when a police officer blocked Lah’s colleague and confronted her directly. The officer accused Lah of grabbing him, a claim she firmly denied. This heated exchange created a chaotic atmosphere, especially as the incident unfolded live on air. Ultimately, officers ordered Lah and her team to move, and Lah described the scene as “a little chaotic” during a live report with CNN anchor Jake Tapper.

Meanwhile, CNN political analyst Harry Enten discussed the shifting political landscape regarding immigration issues. He revealed a surprising trend: many immigrant voters are increasingly aligning with more right-leaning views on immigration. Support for Donald Trump has grown among immigrant citizens since 2016, with his approval rating rising from 36% to as high as 47% in the lead-up to the 2024 and 2025 elections. This shift reflects a growing preference for stricter immigration enforcement, with many immigrant voters now echoing Republican concerns about illegal immigration. Once considered a stronghold for the Democratic Party, immigrant voter support is showing signs of a realignment, with more immigrant citizens supporting Republican immigration policies.
