A federal judge has blocked restrictions that were implemented during the Trump administration, which required faculty at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point to obtain permission before speaking to external groups. U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel ruled that the policy likely infringes on the free speech rights of civilian professors under the First Amendment. The judge noted that even considering the military's interests, the restrictions were not justified.
