The president is waging an across-the-board war against the First Amendment and its legal interpretations from the mid-20th century to today.

Donald Trump Is Tearing Up The First Amendment

Summary

Donald Trump has launched an unprecedented assault on free speech, using executive orders to suppress viewpoints he opposes.

His administration has targeted DEI initiatives, transgender rights, pro-Palestinian protests, and immigrant advocacy, pressuring organizations to comply or face funding cuts.

The government detained and attempted to deport a Palestinian activist for protesting, revoked federal grants from Columbia University over anti-Semitism claims, and punished law firms opposing Trump.

Media outlets critical of Trump face exclusion from coverage. Lawsuits challenging these actions argue they violate the First Amendment.
