This broadcast story was created for my school's video journalism program, Knight TV. Annually, my school journalism program goes to the National Student Journalism Convention hosted by the Journalism Education Association (JEA) and National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA). I had entered the "News Broadcast" category for both the JEA and NSPA awards respectively. I let time get the best of me, and I found myself a week off from the submission deadline with literally nothing. That weekend, me and some friends went to the local "No Kings" protest and covered it. A day or two later, I was sitting in a Driver's Ed lesson when one of my friends texted me a picture of unmarked SUVs outside his house, and the helicopter floating overhead scanning the neighborhood. It was clearly Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity, so I immediately started texting people I knew in the area asking if they knew what was going on, or had seen any agents in the neighborhood. As soon as I got home, I hurried over to the scene of what was later called a "manhunt" and got some interviews and B-roll. I tied it in with the "No Kings" protest, and out of the sheer luck of the timing of these two events, wound up with a pretty good story.
