Trump is pushing a plan to permanently fence Lafayette Park, the historic public site for free speech adjacent to the White House. The proposal now before the National Capital Planning Commission is an attack on democracy. Read our updated statement here: justiceonline.org/news/trump…

"A witch-hunt is not a valid legislative purpose." Today we delivered our responses to subpoenas issued by the House Ways and Means Committee to our clients @peoplesforumnyc and @BTnewsroomNews.

The subpoenas are an abuse of authority to punish and silence First Amendment-protected viewpoints and reporting that the Committee leadership disfavors. Read more here: justiceonline.org/news/the-p…

"These latest attacks on @PeoplesForumNYC are not about our organization alone. It is part of an escalating crusade against... any group or person who expresses opposition to the ultra-right, racist, and pro-war policies of the Trump White House".

1/🧵 Trump’s statement that “a whole civilization will die tonight never to be brought back again” is a call for genocide against 93 million people in Iran, an overt violation of international and federal law, and every moral code known to humanity.

2/🧵 All those who effectuate these war crimes and atrocities are war criminals themselves under the laws enshrined after Nuremberg.

1/ 📣 TAKE ACTION: Tell DOJ to withdraw a dangerous new proposal that seeks to shield federal prosecutors from accountability.
Trump’s Justice Dept has proposed a new rule that would subvert state ethics investigations into misconduct by its lawyers. 🧵

2/ The National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (@NACDL) warns this would weaken one of the only independent checks on prosecutorial abuse.

📣FIRST AMENDMENT VICTORY: All charges have been dismissed against our client, US Army veteran Jay Carey, who the Trump Admin vindictively prosecuted in federal court for burning a flag in Lafayette Park in protest of the President’s Executive Order targeting flag-burning.🧵

2/ The government moved to dismiss the case just before it was required to respond to our demands for information about its decision to prosecute. The court had already ruled that Mr. Carey could proceed with a vindictive prosecution defense.

2/🧵We're fighting these improper charges on multiple grounds. Bondi’s Justice Dep is prosecuting Mr. Carey for burning a flag in Lafayette Park, using wilderness regulations meant for places like Yellowstone, against First Amendment–protected protest in front of the White House.

Trump and his allies are trying to bring McCarthyism back as a political weapon to crush opposition in the United States. Read our full statement on the recent State Department Cuba Report and the New Red Scare here: justiceonline.org/news/pcjf-…

Trump just proposed erecting permanent fencing around Lafayette Square, w unilateral authority to seal the park and shut PA Ave @ its unbridled discretion. Lafayette Park is not the president's front yard. It belongs to the American people.
