Caption: Trump Administration Violated Free Speech Protections in 75 Federal Cases. According to Reuters, federal judges have ruled in 75 cases that President Donald Trump's second-term administration violated First Amendment protections. Despite his campaign pledge to restore free speech and end government censorship. Records show 93 First Amendment-related lawsuits involving the administration, with judges ruling against the government in the vast majority of those cases. The decisions found that a range of administration actions unlawfully infringed on constitutionally protected speech, religion or press freedoms. Affecting groups including media organizations, universities, protesters and foreign nationals. Many of the cases involved allegations that the government retaliated against individuals or institutions because of their views or expression. Although a number of the rulings are being appealed, only a limited share has so far been reversed or stayed. The White House rejected the findings, arguing that the courts are improperly limiting the president's constitutional authority and obstructing the agenda endorsed by voters.
