Over 150 protesters disrupted an April 21 event featuring DHS general counsel James Percival at UCLA Law, prompting an administrator to warn Federalist Society members against identifying protesters.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) sent a letter urging UCLA to retract the warning, arguing it restricts protected speech and applies a double standard against conservatives.
UCLA Law maintains its commitment to free speech and academic freedom, stating the event proceeded as planned and that it will respond to FIRE's concerns regarding the handling of student conduct and privacy.
