The judge ruled the Trump administration violated a pastor's civil rights when it had her arrested for performing marriages between asylum seekers.
ruled against his administration in the case of a New York City pastor who was allegedly targeted by a secretive border surveillance program that allowed the arrest of anyone accused of aiding undocumented migrants to the United States—even if there was no evidence they committed a crime.
"This ruling is a significant court win for the First Amendment and a rare rebuke from a federal judge against a federal law enforcement agency—in particular, DHS and CBP," Scott Welder, a member of Douša's legal team said in a joint statement toon behalf of non-profit advocacy group Protect Democracy, which led her case.
In apprehending her, the government"did not retaliate" against her for protected activity, they argued in court filings: they acted for"legitimate law enforcement purposes."
