   The American Civil Liberties Union is suing President Trump and Attorney   
   General Bill Barr on behalf of Black Lives Matter, claiming the   
   administration violated the civil rights of protesters who were removed to   
   enable President Trump to cross Lafayette Park to St. John’s Episcopal   
   Church on Monday.   
      
   The 31-page lawsuit, filed Thursday in federal court in Washington,   
   accused Trump, Barr and other federal officials of violating the   
   protesters’ constitutional rights and engaging in an unlawful conspiracy   
   when clearing Lafayette Park days earlier.   
      
   “What happened to our members Monday evening, here in the nation’s   
   capital, was an affront to all our rights,” the lead plaintiff in the   
   case, Black Lives Matter DC core organizer April Goggans, said in a   
   statement. “The death of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor at the hands of   
   police officers has reignited the rage, pain and deep sadness our   
   community has suffered for generations. We won’t be silenced by tear gas   
   and rubber bullets.”   
      
   US Park Police and other law enforcement officers pushed protesters and   
   journalists away from Lafayette Park ahead of Trump’s Rose Garden   
   appearance. The commander-in-chief then walked to nearby St. John’s   
   Episcopal Church to visit the historic, fire-damaged site.   
      
   “The president’s shameless, unconstitutional, unprovoked and frankly   
   criminal attack on protesters because he disagreed with their views shakes   
   the foundation of our nation’s constitutional order,” ACLU of the District   
   of Columbia legal director Scott Michelman said. “And when the nation’s   
   top law enforcement officer becomes complicit in the tactics of an   
   autocrat, it chills protected speech for all of us.”   
      
   The lawsuit seeks an order declaring that Trump, Barr and other   
   administration officials violated the protesters’ First and Fourth   
   Amendment rights, as well as damages for the plaintiffs, according to the   
   ACLU.   
      
   Two days later, Trump defended the visit, saying he was unaware that   
   protesters would need to be cleared out of his way ahead of his stop at   
   St. John’s.   
      
   Barr, meanwhile, has explained his decision to remove the protesters,   
   saying the move to extend a perimeter around the White House was made   
   Monday to protect federal property and law enforcement officials.   
      
   “There were projectiles being thrown and it was becoming increasingly   
   unruly,” Barr said Thursday. “They were asked three times if they would   
   move back one block. They refused and we proceeded to move our perimeter.”

   Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in   
   denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016.  The clown car   
   parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump   
   truck.   
      
   Congratulations President Trump.  Thank you for cleaning up the disaster   
   of the Obama presidency.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.   
      
   President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,   
   appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.   
      
   Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February   
   5, 2020.  "President Trump, Not Guilty."
