Case Overview

The Coalition for Independent Technology Research sued the Trump administration over the new policy which targets noncitizens who conduct misinformation and disinformation research or promote certain content moderation policies.

The policy explicitly restricts noncitizens based on the content of their research and advocacy regarding misinformation and content moderation. The government must demonstrate the restriction narrowly serves a compelling interest rather than suppressing disfavored viewpoints.

The Conclusion

Active case in D.C. District Court (Judge James E. Boasberg) filed March 9, 2026, challenging the constitutionality of the policy targeting noncitizen researchers and content moderation advocates.
