Judge Rules FIU Violated Students' Free Speech in ICE Protest
TL;DR Summary
Judge Jacqueline Becerra granted a preliminary injunction, ruling FIU likely violated the First Amendment by disciplining seven students who silently protested FIU’s ICE partnership; the court blocked enforcement of the indoor 'expressive activities' ban and paused disciplinary actions, noting the protest did not disrupt the event. The case, involving the FIU ICEBreakers, continues as campus free-speech protections remain at issue.
