Dozens of judges have ruled that Donald Trump’s policies illegally stifled free speech, in what legal experts say is an unprecedented rebuke of a president who campaigned on a platform of ending censorship.
He made free speech a central part of his 2024 campaign and, after his return to office, scoffed at so-called “cancel culture” by welcoming politically toxic individuals into the administration, according to Politico.
The 75 losses were out of 93 total cases brought during Trump’s second term in which judges addressed First Amendment arguments, according to Reuters.
Trump officials have repeatedly accused judges who rule against the administration of being “activists” interfering with the president’s authority.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Reuters in a statement that the First Amendment rulings were an example of the federal judiciary “repeatedly endangering and obstructing the election choices of the American people with its unlawful rulings.”
