A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) last Friday barring federal immigration officers from retaliating against a Springfield, Ohio, man for recording them. But the government says the man's First Amendment lawsuit should be tossed because Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has already moved most of the officers accused of trying to intimidate him out of town.
Sean Moorman filed a lawsuit last week alleging that federal immigration officers launched an escalating intimidation campaign against him for his activity recording and monitoring ICE operations in Springfield, which has become a target of the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign because of its large number of Haitian immigrants.
