A federal court on Tuesday dismissed a workplace privacy suit that DOJ brought against Illinois, ruling that federal immigration law isn't always absolute. The suit started in May, when DOJ alleged an amendment to Illinois’ Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act violated the Immigration Reform and Control Act (ICRA) of 1986 and other federal laws (see 2505050065).
The FTC's probe of Media Matters is "a straightforward First Amendment violation," a federal judge ruled Friday, granting the left-leaning journalism watchdog group a preliminary injunction against the agency's civil investigative demand (CID). "It should alarm all Americans when the Government retaliates against individuals or organizations for engaging in constitutionally protected public debate," U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Sparkle Sooknanan said in an opinion (docket 1:25-cv-01959). Media Matters filed suit in June, seeking to block the CID (see 2506230039). The judge said Media Matters was "engaged in quintessential First Amendment activity" with its reporting on Elon Musk and his X social media platform, and the subsequent FTC CID was a retaliatory act.
