Journalist arrested during tax protest outside Trump International in Las Vegas

A television photojournalist was arrested during a protest in front of Trump International on Saturday.
More than 200 people were demonstrating in front of the hotel, calling on President Donald Trump to release his tax returns, when KLAS-TV photojournalist Nebyou Solomon was arrested.
He was standing on a sidewalk with his camera filming the protest when he was detained for what police said was trespassing on private property owned by the Fashion Show Mall.

Solomon was the only person arrested “during today’s otherwise peaceful protest,” the Metropolitan Police Department said in a statement. He faces misdemeanor charges of trespassing not amounting to burglary and obstructing a public officer.
