The three students’ federal suit against the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and instructor Tariq Khan says that the university got a restraining order preventing them from reporting on Khan’s involvement in the November protest against President Donald Trump.
Khan, 39, was charged with destruction of property after taking and smashing a student’s smartphone on the pavement, an action caught on video.
The suit contends that the instructor and university officials violated the students’ constitutional rights to free press, free speech, and due process, according to the law firm representing the students, Mauck & Baker, LLC.
“The First Amendment should not be a partisan issue or something only conservatives are willing to defend,” the law firm said in a formal statement.
