Join Freedom of the Press Foundation for ‘Forced Out for Speaking Freely? What Stanford Daily v. Rubio Means for Journalists, Sources, and Free Speech,’ a virtual event. We’ll discuss the recent free speech victory of a student paper against the federal government over its deportation policy targeting speech, and its impact on press freedom.

In August, a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration had violated the Constitution when it sought to deport international students attending American universities because they had criticized Israel’s war in Gaza.

In this live webinar, hosted by Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF), we’ll hear from immigration and First Amendment experts — including the attorney who represented The Stanford Daily — who will discuss how the Trump administration’s deportation scheme has affected the press, and what this decision means for journalists and their sources both on campus and off.

Featuring:

  • Conor Fitzpatrick from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression
  • Esha Bhandari from the ACLU
  •  Marium Uddin.,former immigration judge

Moderated by Caitlin Vogus, senior adviser for advocacy at FPF.
