The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Northern California on Wednesday filed a complaint against the Sacramento County Sheriff for blocking Black Lives Matter (BLM) leaders from his Facebook page. Tanya Faison and Sonia Lewis brought this complaint against Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones, alleging violations of their freedom of speech rights under the First Amendment and the California Constitution. Jones posted to his public page looking for support after locking the Inspector General out of the police department’s facilities. Faison and Lewis were targeted in the discussion following it. The activists both had their comments deleted before being banned from the page. The ACLU argues that the Facebook page is analogous to a public forum. The publicly accessible page hosts direct communications between constituents and public officials. All are able to read the posts and consider the viewpoints presented, but only those with unblocked accounts are able to comment. … [Read more...] about ACLU sues Sacramento County Sheriff for blocking activists from official Facebook page

In the ongoing saga of the contentious Hennepin County Sheriff's race, Sheriff-Elect Dave Hutchinson has retained legal counsel in case defeated Sheriff Rich Stanek asks for a recount. On Tuesday, the county's canvassing board certified Hutchinson as sheriff. He won the election by 2,340 votes, a small margin of victory but not one that requires an automatic recount.

"Pursuing a recount is not in the best interest of the Sheriff's Office or the residents of the Hennepin County," Hutchinson campaign spokesman Jeremy Zoss said in a statement. "While we are hopeful that a recount will be avoided, we have taken the precautionary step of retaining Fredrikson and Byron to assist our campaign in the event that outgoing Sheriff Rich Stanek calls for one." Right now, Zoss said, Hutchinson's team is "focused on … [Read more...] about Hennepin County Sheriff-Elect Hutchinson retains law firm in case of recount
