Big First Amendment win in Chicago: A federal court told the government it can’t target journalists at protests.

But it still allows officers to order reporters to leave protests in some circumstances. We wrote about why that needs to change.

Court backs Chicago reporters, but leaves door open for dispersals

A federal court limited how federal officers can target journalists at protests, but stopped short of entirely blocking them from ordering reporters to leave
