FIRE won a huge First Amendment victory today.
And before anyone mischaracterizes it: This ruling does NOT say the government must admit anyone, issue anyone a visa, or grant anyone citizenship.
It says that once a person is lawfully here, the government cannot deport them because they engaged in protected speech.
The government cannot tell a legal immigrant: An American is free to say this, but if you say it, you’re out.
That’s the principle we sued to defend. And today we won.
