These demonstrations were prompted by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shooting and wounding a Venezuelan man during a traffic stop in the city. Separately, CNN, MS NOW, and Politico filed a lawsuit against the Trump Administration, claiming the ban on their access to White House grounds violated their First Amendment rights.
