But our work is not done. We proudly stand alongside our client, Brittney Brown, as she fights to defend her First Amendment rights. Public employees do not surrender their constitutional freedoms when they enter public service.

In the order, Judge Mark Walker wrote: “There is a label for what Ms. Tucker did—making false statements. And there is a label for what defense counsel has done—vexatious litigation.” We appreciate the court’s order and the important message it sends: no one is above the law.

No Governor, no Legislature, and no political party is above the Florida Constitution. When our lawmakers decide that our laws don’t apply to them, that is not governance — that is corruption.

Earlier today, the Florida Legislature passed a new congressional map that flagrantly violates the state constitution. Every Florida elected official swears an oath to support, protect, and defend the Constitution. Today, that oath was broken.

Councilmember Steve Cody was stripped of a committee role and barred from related positions because of his speech. That’s illegal retaliation against protected political expression. We’ll see them in court.

BREAKING: We are suing the Village of Palmetto Bay for punishing a councilmember for posting political satire about Charlie Kirk on Facebook. Elected officials don’t lose their First Amendment rights in office—and the government cannot punish speech it dislikes.

No one should have to fight deportation alone and without counsel from inside a detention center—it’s a basic constitutional right. This is a win for justice and fairness. 🎉 aclufl.org/press-releases…
