- Judge freezes travel ban on foreign misinformation researchers
A federal judge froze a State Department policy banning individuals who combat disinformation and hate speech on social media, ruling it violated the First Amendment through viewpoint discrimination. The policy, initiated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio in 2025, led to deportations of coalition members, including leaders of the Coalition for Independent Technology Research.
