DESCRIPTION: In recent months, as federal mass deportation efforts have ramped up, there has been a deeply disturbing escalation of violence by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers against journalists, observers, and peaceful protesters alike. Scores of violent assaults on reporters have resulted in a growing number of serious injuries and prompted press lawsuits against DHS in Los Angeles and Chicago. Plaintiffs assert that the violence is both excessive and officially sanctioned, part of a concerted effort to silence the press and keep the American people in the dark.\nJoin the American Constitution Society, the Center for Media and Democracy, and Common Cause for a briefing about the dire threat federal law enforcement violence poses to our First Amendment rights to speech, assembly, and a free press, including your right to record ICE activity and anti-ICE protests.\n\nSpeakers:\nNora Benavidez, Senior Counsel and Director of Digital Justice and Civil Rights, Free Press\nAlejandra Cancino, Investigative Reporter, Chicago \nAdam Rose, Press Rights Chair, Los Angeles Press Club; Deputy Director of Advocacy, Freedom of the Press Foundation\nNick Stern, Freelance Photojournalist\nMatt Topic, Partner, Loevy + Loevy\nThis webinar is designed for journalists, lawyers, students, and activists.  When registering, please choose "none" under Law School if it doesn't apply to you.\n \n\n \n\nFor details, click here: https://getinvolved.acslaw.org/component/events/event/1652
