Actor-turned-artist-now-activist Shia LeBeouf was arrested in front of his newly installed live-streamed work HE WILL NOT DIVIDE US (2017) yesterday, the Guardian reports. Police arrived at the anti-Trump protest installation to take him into custody following an altercation which involved LeBeouf pushing a man. Exact details are still unknown, though a video shows the man saying ‘Hitler did nothing wrong’. Fellow protestors have spoken out in defence of LeBeouf: ‘Shia took a hit for us. There were all these Nazis here, he came out and tried to protect us.’
