Trump Admin May Have Violated Free Speech Rights of Mexican Journalist

“We turn now to a major development in the case of a jailed Mexican journalist that Democracy Now! has followed closely. In El Paso on Wednesday, a federal judge issued a 26-page ruling that questioned the Trump administration’s detention of Emilio Gutiérrez Soto and his son Oscar and ordered an August 1 hearing to examine whether immigration officials violated his First Amendment rights. Gutiérrez first sought asylum in the United States in 2008 after receiving death threats for reporting on alleged corruption in the Mexican military. He’s lived here in the U.S. for the past decade and has since won the National Press Club’s Freedom of the Press Award. We speak with Penny Venetis, a Rutgers University law professor who filed the First Amendment challenge in Gutiérrez Soto’s case; Bill McCarren, executive director of the National Press Club; and Eduardo Beckett, Gutiérrez Soto’s lawyer.”
