The Court’s order also improperly compels speech by a co-equal branch of government. See, e.g., Pleasant Grove City v. Summum, 555 U.S. 460, 467 (2009) (Federal government “has the right to speak for itself” and “to select the view it wants to express.”). While the Court concluded that “[r]estoration of the President’s House does not infringe upon the government’s free speech,” ECF No. 53 at 39, the Court’s injunction undeniably compels the Government to convey a message that it has chosen not to convey. And to compel speech is an infringement on the right to free speech.

The federal government moves for an emergency stay of the district court's order, arguing (among other things) that the court is violating the government's right to free speech.

Governments don't have rights.

Well, they’ve filed a notice of appeal. They can ask the district court or court of appeal to stay the injunction order while the appeal proceeds, but it’s a fairly high burden.

Federal court's patience wearing thin due to Trump administration's "failure to comply" with its order, sets deadline for Trump administration to restore historical panel exhibits.

Florida's Stop WOKE Act continues to be blocked in colleges A panel of federal judges is keeping in place a block on Florida’s Stop WOKE Act while appeals progress.

Oh, I have. www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...

Nah — they’re at the National Constitution Center about a block away. Some are likely damaged, but the court issued interim relief early on.

Flyers on wall with record panels. One flyer says: Censorship disparages both the lives of the Americans who were enslaved here and across the nation and the lives of their descendants. Return the true history!!

MEMORANDUM OPINION February 16, 2026 “All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary. In no case would it have been possible, once the deed was done, to prove that any falsification had taken place.” George Orwell, 1984' As if the Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's 1984 now existed, with its motto "Ignorance is Strength," this Court is now asked to determine whether the federal government has the power it claims—to dissemble and disassemble historical truths when it has some domain over historical facts. It does not. The President's House is a component of Independence National Historical Park that commemorates the site of the first official presidential residence and the people who lived there, including people enslaved by President George Washington. On January 22, 2026, the National Park Service ("NPS") removed panels, displays, and video exhibits that referenced slavery and information about the individuals enslaved at the President's House. Plaintiff City of Philadelphia ("the City" filed this lawsuit under the Administrative Procedures Act ("APA") against the Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum…

There can b no prejudice to Defendants' restoration of the status quo as of January 21, 2026, which requires that Defendants reinstall all panels, displays, and video exhibits that were previously in place. Defendants shall further prevent any additions, removals, destruction, or further changes of any kind to the President's House site, except in the event that a mutual written agreement is reachec between Defendants and the City of Philadelphia. An order will be entered.

Federal court orders Trump administration to restore historical panel exhibits at President’s House in Philadelphia.

Happy Presidents Day.

Ms. Pirro, the person said, believed she had a moral obligation to persuade the grand jurors that a crime had been committed by Mr. Kelly, Ms. Slotkin and their four colleagues in the House: Jason Crow, a former Army Ranger; Maggie Goodlander, a former Navy reservist; Chrissy Houlahan, a former Air Force officer; and Chris Deluzio, a Navy veteran.

(except from the black-and-white of a student newspaper op-ed)

MSNOW headline: News Trump administration plans to deport 40 İranians days after mass killings in Iran Two of the deportees are gay and terrified of returning to a country where homosexuality is punishable by death, their lawyer says.

Another day, another outrage; ICE under Trump is going to deport dozens of people to Iran, including two gay men previously arrested by the regime who face the death penalty for their orientation, and despite the ongoing crackdowns which have killed thousands.

An administration of total inhumanity.

The files on Öztürk, some of which previously were not available to the public, indicate further that the government relied solely on the inferences made from an op-ed she wrote for the student newspaper to carry out the revocation of her visa, her arrest, and her detention. A report of analysis on Ozturk, which was previously shown only briefly in court but discussed at length in questioning and testimony, attaches her profile on Canary Mission, and her op-ed in the Tufts Daily, which urged the university to listen to undergraduates pushing for a formal acknowledgment of Palestinian genocide, as the Globe previously reported. The newly unsealed documents also show that the report included a Tufts Daily article on the undergraduate Senate resolutions which were passed — in which Ozturk is not mentioned at all – and a post on X by an individual named Eyal Yakoby.

This was obtained because the @bostonglobe.com intervened and asked the court to unseal the records. Their reporting is here, and notes that her detention was spurred by the Canary Project and a tweet.

Action Memo for Senior Bureau Official John Armstrong FROM: SUBJECT: CA/VO - Stuart Wilson, Deputy Assistant Secretary (SBU) Revocation of Fl Visa for Rumeysa OZTURK (SBU) Recommendation 1: That you approve the revocation of the Fl visa, effective immediately, for under section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Due to ongoing ICE operational security, this revocation will be silent; the Department will not notify the subject. (Approve/Disapprove by 03/21/25) Decision: [Approved] (SBU) Recommendation 2: That you authorize the transmission of the attached notification to the Department of Homeland Security noting the, immediate revocation of OZTURK's visa. (Approve/Disapprove by 03/21/25) Decision: [Approved] Background (SBU} On March 21, 2025, the Assistant Director of the National Security Division of DHS/ICE's Homeland Security Investigations referred to CA information regarding Rumeysa OZTURK, a Turkish national, for a possible determination by the Secretary that the alien is deportable under INA section 237(a)(4)(C). As a nonimmigrant visa holder, such a determination is not necessary for OHS/ICE to pursue removal of OZTURK from the United States, as INA section 237(a}(1)(B) provides that an alien is deportable if their nonimmigrant visa has been revoked under INA section 221(i).

(SBU) Under INA section 221(i), the Secretary of State may at any time, in his discretion, revoke a visa.. This authority is delegated to you pursuant to Delegation of Authority 367-4. Department policy reflected in 9 FAM 403.ll~S(B) provides that a visa may be revoked in cases of a suspected ineligibility, when an individual would not meet requirements .for admission, or "in other situations where warranted." (SBU) OZTURK was issued an F-1 visa on December 14, 2020, valid until December 9, 2025. According to information provided by OHS/ICE/HSI OZTURK is a post doctorate degree candidate in Child Studies and Human Development at Tufts University. On March 21, 2025, OHS/ICE/HSI referred information to CA indicating that OZTURK co-authored an op-ed in Tufts' student newspaper. In this article, the authors wrote, "Graduate Students for Pal'estine joins Tufts Students for Justice in Palestine (TSJP), the Tufts Faculty and Staff Coalition for Ceasefire, .and Fletcher Students for Palestine to reject the ,University's response" {to a student government resolution). According to OHS/ICE/HSI, Tufts Students for Justice in Palestine was placed\\ on interim suspension 11 after it used images of weapons to promote a protest rally and urged members of the Tufts community to 'join the student intifada." OHS/ICE/HSI referral concluded that "OZTURK's involvement in these activities and associations with these groups may undermine U.S. foreign. policy by creating a hostile environment for Jewish students and indicating support for a designated terrorist organization." (SBU) While OZTURK has been involved with the actions protesting Turfts' relationship with Israel, QHS/ICE/HSI has not, however, provided any evidence showing that OZTURK has engaged in any antisemitic activity or made any public statements indicating support for a terrorist organization or antisemitism generally. While the report implies a connection between OZTURK and the now-banned Tufts Student for Justice in Pa…

OZTURK was involved in any of the activities which resulted in TJSP being suspended from Tufts. (SBU) Through a search on March 21, 2025, on available USG interagency databases, CA/VO identified no reporting specific to OZTURK, and interagency vetting partners did not provide any response to OZTURK's 2024 visa application indicating the existence of derogatory terrorism-related information. (SBU) OHS did not identify any alternative grounds of removability that would be applicable to OZTURK, including the ground of removability for aliens who have provided material support to a foreign terrorist organization or terrorist activity, and have not indicated whether it plans to consider termination of OZTURK's SEVIS registration. Although information provided by OHS/HSI/ICE does not establish any potential ineligibility for OZTURK, you may, in your discretion and in accordance with Department policy in 9 FAM 403.11-5(8), approve revocation of her F-1 visa effective immediately based on the totality of the circumstances presented indicating that revocation may be warranted.

Here is the newly-unsealed State Department memo confirming -- finally -- that the detention of Tufts student Rümeysa Öztürk was based on an op-ed.

No antisemitic activity. No support of terrorism.

An op-ed in a student newspaper.

Cross-Tabs: January 2026 Times/Siena National Poll of Registered Voters Results of a nationwide New York Times/Siena poll of 1,625 registered voters conducted from Jan. 12 to 17, 2026.

You can see how the @nytimes.com "computed the results" by looking at the cross-tabs. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This would not be his first lawsuit over a poll. It's not even his second. He sued J. Ann Selzer twice. The second time, he sued the day before Iowa's anti-SLAPP statute took effect. FIRE is defending her against that suit and against a separate class action suit by the "Center for American Rights"

Trump "Truth" post: The Times Siena Poll, which is always tremendously negative to me, especially just before the Election of 2024, where I won in a Landslide, will be added to my lawsuit against The Failing New York Times. Our lawyers have demanded that they keep all Records, and how they “computed” these fake results — Not just the fact that it was heavily skewed toward Democrats. They will be held fully responsible for all of their Radical Left lies and wrongdoing!

Trump says he will sue over another poll because he does not like the results.

do you mean Florida

Incredible thread

Not sure if the link will work, but here's the pro se civil suit: www.courts.mo.gov/casenet/case...

11. Plaintiff publicly stated on Facebook that someone "should check the mayorof Riverview's basement," implying that a Missouri public official may have been holding a missing Missouri minor hostage.

3. ... Defendants admit the subpoena remains active. Defendants deny all remaining allegations, including that the subpoena is unconstitutional or improper.

And the kicker? As of last month, the city is still insisting the subpoena is active and proper.
