Fired Stars and Stripes journalists sue Trump administration for censorship
Americas2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported15m ago
Three journalists formerly employed by the military newspaper Stars and Stripes filed a federal lawsuit on Thursday against the Pentagon and the Department of Defense. The plaintiffs allege that they were wrongfully fired by the U.S. government in an act of censorship aimed at violating their First Amendment rights to free speech.
The legal action stems from the journalists' reporting on the USS Abraham Lincoln. Stars and Stripes operates as a government-funded news service for the military community, placing the dispute at the intersection of federal employment, military oversight, and constitutional press protections.
