Supreme Court Revives Case of Texas Citizen Journalist Arrested for Seeking Information
The U.S. Supreme Court has opened the door for a Texas online journalist to pursue her lawsuit regarding her 2017 arrest. The court tossed a lower court decision that had previously shielded the officers involved in the arrest, providing the journalist another opportunity to seek justice. This ruling is particularly significant as it highlights First Amendment implications regarding free speech and the rights of citizen journalists in their pursuit of information.
