Photojournalist Michael Nigro reported a piece for the Bucks County Beacon earlier this month from the streets of Los Angeles which were turned into a war zone after Trump sent in the National Guard and Marines to quash anti-ICE protests. He was actually shot in the head with nonlethal bullet by police, though thankfully he was wearing a helmet. This multimedia journalist based in Brooklyn, New York joins us today to talk about his work and his penchant for documenting world-changing stories that has put him at the forefront of some of the most crucial events of our times, including Occupy Wall Street, Standing Rock, Charlottesville, the Yellow Vest Movement in France, The January 6th Capitol Riots, and three assignments in Ukraine, to name a few. His work has been featured in dozens of publications including The New York Times, The Guardian, Vice, The Intercept, Rolling Stone, and Time Magazine.
