1/From Ravi Ragbir's Defence Comittee. Ravi’s case is back in the Second Circuit, but His First Amendment Retaliation Claim Lives On!
#SCOTUS has sent Ravi’s First Amendment case back down to the Second Circuit for a second look. #IStandWithRavi #AbolishICE
#SCOTUS has sent Ravi’s First Amendment case back down to the Second Circuit for a second look. #IStandWithRavi #AbolishICE
2/Today’s order from the Supreme Court does not call into question the Second Circuit’s ruling that deporting immigrant-rights activists in retaliation for their political speech violates the First Amendment. #IStandwithRavi
3/Such retaliation remains illegal and wrong. The only question posed by today’s order is whether federal courts have jurisdiction to hear such First Amendment claims, & for multiple reasons, they clearly do. #AbolishICE
4/ Ravi's legal team welcomes the opportunity to brief the jurisdictional issue further in the Second Circuit. #youcantdeportamovement
5/While today’s order will prolong the case, we remain hopeful that justice will continue to prevail at the Second Circuit and that nothing will change the ultimate outcome:
6/ICE cannot weaponize the immigration laws to silence its critics. And, while this case again proceeds before the Second Circuit, a judicial stay of Ravi’s deportation remains in place. #IStandWithRavi
Together, back in 2018, we told ICE that they can’t deport a movement. It’s true. The movement is still here, and so is Ravi, and we will keep fighting. Thank you for standing with us. #IStandWithRavi #abolishIce
