Chicago Headline Club v. Kristi Noem

No. 25-3023 Circuit · Decided Decided

Case Overview

The Trump administration appealed Judge Ellis's preliminary injunction forbidding them from using certain crowd control techniques and imposing additional restrictions on law enforcement activities.


The Application

History

The district court found the Headline Club and intervenor-appellees likely to succeed on their First Amendment challenge to the crowd control techniques and imposed preliminary injunctive relief restricting the administration's deployment authority. The appeal challenges the lower court's factual findings on likelihood of success and its legal conclusions regarding the constitutional permissibility of the contested techniques.

The Conclusion

The Seventh Circuit affirmed or modified the preliminary injunction protecting First Amendment assembly and press freedoms against the challenged crowd control and law enforcement practices, maintaining restrictions on the administration's use of certain techniques during public gatherings.
