BREAKING: The outrageous County Commission who fired 2 top public defenders in Montgomery Cnty, PA for advocating for bail reform, didn’t just violate the First Amendment, but may have also broken PA law. Despite national outcry, still not reinstating them.theappeal.org/pennsylvania-p…
Yesterday, despite “hours of testimony from roughly 50 residents & stakeholders the County Commissioners did not vote to reinstate its 2 top public defenders.” Firing Commissioner Val Arkoosh (@VAArk) had gall still to claim she “agrees criminal justice system needs reforming.”
This letter from dozens in Dean & Keisha’s office: “To witness our chiefs fired, escorted from the Office by security, given no opportunity to explain their dismissal was deeply upsetting, & created a sense of confusion, fear, & had a chilling effect on those of us who remained.”
At the meeting, Commissioner Val Arkoosh (@VAArk) claimed she was a “member of the ACLU” as if that in some way makes it okay to silence & exact political reprisal on a public defender doing critical advocacy. Time for the @ACLU to rescind her membership.
