MONROE, LA – Ruling in favor of Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, a federal judge has enjoined Big Government from colluding with Big Tech companies to censor Americans’ protected speech. In Louisiana and Missouri v. Biden et al., Judge Terry Doughty of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana prohibited key Biden officials from pressuring or conspiring with social media companies to suppress any content containing protected free speech on their platforms.

“Today, we won an historic injunction against the Biden Administration, preventing it from censoring the core political speech of ordinary Americans on social media,” said Attorney General Landry. “The evidence in our case is shocking and offensive with senior federal officials deciding that they could dictate what Americans can and cannot say on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other platforms about COVID-19, elections, criticism of the government, and more.”

The court order blocks the Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the United States Census Bureau, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Department of Justice, members of the Executive Office of the President of the United States – including the White House Press Secretary, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the United States Department of Homeland Security, and the United States Department of State.

“Today’s historic ruling is a big step in the continued fight to prohibit our government from unconstitutional censorship,” concluded Attorney General Landry. “We look forward to continuing to litigate the case and will vigorously defend the injunction on appeal.”
