Arrested 'Impeach Obama' Advocate Sues for 1st Amendment Payday

Amid honking from cars below, Daniel Martins was doing what he often did on Fridays, advocating for the impeachment of President Barack Obama from a pedestrian bridge over the Long Island Expressway. On the sunny day last June, however, the Hofstra University student was confronted and arrested for disorderly conduct and criminal nuisance by Nassau County police who claimed his signs and flags might cause a car crash. The criminal case was dismissed on free speech grounds in December and Martins now is seeking $2 million in a federal lawsuit, alleging the arrest was illegal and intended to stop his exercise of First Amendment-protected rights. “It wasn’t a problem for anybody but the police,” says attorney Thomas Liotti, a two-time Obama voter representing Martins.

When prominent Jewish lawmakers, such as New York’s Jerrold Nadler, have come out in support of the deal, several outlets have found their religious affiliation worth noting in headlines.

Exclusive - U.S. to China: Take back your undocumented immigrants

By Mark Hosenball and Tim Reid WASHINGTON/LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - In early June, in cities across America, U.S. immigration agents arrested more than two dozen Chinese nationals with unfulfilled deportation orders, telling them that after years of delay, China was finally taking steps to provide the paperwork needed to expel them from the U.S. But, not for the first time, China failed to provide the necessary documents, and three months later not one of those arrested has been deported, and many have been released from custody. The issue, which is likely to come up during a state visit to Washington later this month by Chinese President Xi Jinping, has further strained a U.S.-China relationship already frayed by tensions over economic policy, suspected Chinese cyber hacking and Beijing’s growing military assertiveness.
