Journalist Maya Lau, co-represented by RCFP attorneys, sued LA County for unlawfully investigating her in retaliation for her reporting.

RCFP is supporting the Stanford Daily’s First Amendment lawsuit against the Trump administration.

RCFP has received questions regarding the implications for journalists of using the military for civilian law enforcement.

“BenitoLink’s right to document government activities in public spaces … is firmly established,” RCFP and BenitoLink argue.

“[T]he right and ability of the press to document law enforcement ... activity safely and effectively is foundational to self-government.”

“Closing courtroom doors to a journalist attending a public immigration proceeding is unlawful and damaging to public transparency.”

Journalist Maya Lau accuses Los Angeles County of violating her constitutional rights in retaliation for her reporting.

The lawsuit alleges retaliation for her coverage of LA County sheriff’s deputies with histories of dishonesty and other misconduct.

The Ninth Circuit should reaffirm its longstanding recognition that the California anti-SLAPP law’s fee-shifting provisions apply in federal court.

The Ninth Circuit should block the enforcement of Alameda County's unconstitutional ‘sideshow’ law.
