VICTORY! Tonight, a federal court ruled in favor of a @thefireorg.bsky.social lawsuit and held the statutes the Trump administration is using for speech-based deportations violate the First Amendment

This morning @thefireorg.bsky.social filed an amicus brief explaining why the First Amendment prohibits deporting lawfully present noncitizens based on protected speech. The brief covers the Framers’ backlash to the Alien Friends Act, which authorized Pres. Adams to deport “dangerous” aliens

This morning, my @thefireorg.bsky.social team and I are in California federal court challenging the two immigration statutes Secretary Rubio is using to try to deport visa and green card holders for protected speech. Incredibly proud of this team and our brave clients.
