Applaud Judge Defending Free Speech Rights From Trump

A federal judge just sided with creators of apps and online groups that tracked ICE activity, ruling that the Trump administration likely violated their free speech rights by pressuring platforms to remove them.

These tools used publicly available information to inform communities — yet they were taken down after government officials made what the judge described as “thinly veiled threats.”

This ruling sends a clear message: the government cannot silence speech it disagrees with or strong-arm private companies into suppressing lawful expression.

The First Amendment protects the right to share information, hold authorities accountable, and speak openly — especially about government actions.

This is about more than apps. It’s about defending free speech, transparency, and the right of communities to stay informed.

Add your name to applaud this decision and stand up for the First Amendment and our fundamental freedoms.
