Tucker Collins, an 18-year-old freshman at the University of Southern California, has lost his right eye after being shot with a 'less-lethal' projectile by a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agent during a No Kings protest in downtown Los Angeles on March 28. According to his attorney, V James DeSimone, Collins was photographing the protest when he was struck in the eye, resulting in a fractured eye socket and subsequent surgical removal of the eye. DeSimone emphasized that Collins was not threatening anyone and was merely documenting the event, highlighting that the shooting occurred despite a federal injunction prohibiting such actions against non-threatening individuals. The DHS defended its actions, stating that their law enforcement followed training protocols and used the minimum force necessary to maintain safety. They claimed multiple warnings were issued before deploying crowd control measures. DeSimone plans to file a federal tort claim against the DHS, seeking justice for what he describes as a wrongful act against Collins, who was simply exercising his First Amendment rights.
