A civil rights group is urging the nation's highest court to overturn a lower-court ruling that said a Black Lives Matter organizer has no First Amendment defense to a lawsuit filed by a Baton Rouge officer who was injured while trying to arrest protesters after the 2016 killing of Alton Sterling.
The American Civil Liberties Union and the organizer, DeRay Mckesson, are arguing to the U.S. Supreme Court that the decision from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals would gut civil rights-era protest rights if allowed to stand.
