US can’t deport hate speech researcher for protected speech, lawsuit says
摘要
美国仇恨言论研究者伊姆兰·艾哈迈德原计划在圣诞节前被特朗普政府驱逐出境并禁止返回美国。艾哈迈德随后起诉美国政府,并在圣诞节当天获得临时限制令。他指控当局滥用移民系统,以惩罚非公民受保护的言论并压制不同观点。
Imran Ahmed's biggest thorn in his side used to be Elon Musk, who made the hate speech researcher one of his earliest legal foes during his Twitter takeover.
Now, it's the Trump administration, which planned to deport Ahmed, a legal permanent resident, just before Christmas. It would then ban him from returning to the United States, where he lives with his wife and young child, both US citizens.
After suing US officials to block any attempted arrest or deportation, Ahmed was quickly granted a temporary restraining order on Christmas Day. Ahmed had successfully argued that he risked irreparable harm without the order, alleging that Trump officials continue "to abuse the immigration system to punish and punitively detain noncitizens for protected speech and silence viewpoints with which it disagrees" and confirming that his speech had been chilled.
