  1. Jorge L. Alonso, a federal district court judge for the Northern District of Illinois, said that the Trump Administration violated the First Amendment when it pressured Facebook and Apple to remove ICE-tracking groups and apps. Judge Alonso granted the plaintiffs, Kassandra Rosado, who runs the ICE Sightings – Chicagoland Facebook group, and Kreisau Group, the developers of Eyes Up, a preliminary injunction.

    Judge Alonso cited a unanimous Supreme Court decision from a 2024 case that pitted the NRA against the former superintendent of the New York Department of Financial Services, Maria Vullo. In that case, the court ruled that “[g]overnment officials cannot attempt to coerce private parties in order to punish or suppress views that the government disfavors,” when Vullo pressured companies to end their business relationships with the NRA. Alonso’s decision continues, saying, “Here, [Pam] Bondi and [Kristi] Noem did exactly that. They reached out to Facebook and Apple and demanded, rather than requested, that Facebook and Apple censor Plaintiff’s speech.”

    The same administration that spent years screaming about free speech on Twitter was pressuring Apple and Facebook to remove apps that let people document ICE activity.

    The hypocrisy would be funny if the constitutional violation wasn’t so blatant.

  6. The same group that screamed about gov 1st amendment violations for requests on less misinformation for public health emergencies

    They don’t care. Worst case is that they’ll pay off the lawsuit with some tax payer money.

    Wouldn’t it be cool if violating our civil rights meant anything anymore and there were real punishments for doing it?

    Headline should read, a Judge appointed by Obama, that normal deals with bankruptcy appeals, make a bs ruling to get his name in the news.
