BREAKING: Judge William Young finds that Noem, Rubio, DHS, and State "deliberately" sought to restrict non-citizens' First Amendment rights. "'No law' means 'no law.' The First Amendment does not draw President Trump’s invidious distinction ...." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

President Irump here makes clear that, in his view, the First Amendment's
protection of freedom of speech applies to American citizens
alone, and to an unconstitutionally narrow view of citizenship at that.
This case -- perhaps the most important ever to fall within
the jurisdiction of this district court -- squarely presents the
issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in United
States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally "yes, they do." "No law" means "no law." The First Amendment does not draw President Trump's invidious
distinction and it is not to be found in our history ....

This article is a must read for anyone who wants to better understand the Trump admin’s political pressure on care providers to stop providing gender affirming care - and how it’s something you should be worried about, even if you’re not trans. As a reminder, this is impacting OC already.

Kristi Noem is seen as a "delicate, beautiful, tiny woman" while leading DHS, yet Rep. McIver was arrested for protesting it, and Sen. Padilla was tackled for even questioning it. It's clear who gets to be “delicate, beautiful, and tiny,” and who is seen as a violent threat to law enforcement.
