Oct.17, 2025 | FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS | (Click image to view.) Labor unions filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government on Thursday, alleging that the Trump administration violated the First Amendment rights of people who are legally in the United States by searching their social media for specific viewpoints, including criticism of Israel. The complaint is the latest legal challenge to the broad immigration crackdown initiated since President Donald Trump was inaugurated in January, which has seen unprecedented deportations of migrants, including some who had valid visas. Three major trade unions -- United Auto Workers, Communications Workers of America, and American Federation of Teachers -- sued the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the heads of these agencies at a federal court in New York.
