ACLU Sues Secret Service for Violating Free Speech Rights
(Couple arrested for wearing Anti-Bush T-Shirts)
"We never imagined that we would end up in jail because of a homemade t-shirt," said Nicole Rank. On behalf of Mrs. Rank and her husband Jeff, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against the Secret Service and Greg Jenkins, Deputy Assistant to the President and Director of White House Advance, for infringing on their First Amendment rights.
The couple wore t-shirts bearing the international "no" symbol (a circle with a diagonal line across it) superimposed over the word "Bush" to the Fourth of July event. Two men believed to be working for the Secret Service or White House approached the Ranks and demanded that they remove or cover their t-shirts. When the couple refused, the officials instructed city police to arrest Jeff and Nicole, causing them to be removed from the Capitol grounds in handcuffs, jailed for one to two hours and charged with trespassing.
"This is a simple case," said ACLU Senior Staff Attorney Chris Hansen, who is the lead counsel in the case. "Two Americans went to see their president and to express their disagreement with his policies respectfully and peacefully. They were arrested at the direction of federal officials. That is precisely what the First Amendment was adopted to prevent."
