Case Summary

This lawsuit was brought in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on June 11, 2020. The suit was in response to President Trump's June 1, 2020, decision to use chemical weapons against peaceful protesters in Lafayette Square Park, protesting the police killing of George Floyd. In order to clear the path for President Trump to walk to St. John's Church, the military and military police used tear gas, pepper balls, pepper spray, and other weapons to disperse the peaceful protesters…

Plaintiffs were three protesters in Lafayette Square on June 1st, 2020. They were represented by attorneys from a private law firm. Defendants were President Trump, Attorney General Barr, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, and various other leaders of federal agencies allegedly involved in the attack.

Plaintiffs argued that the President's actions violated their First Amendment rights by retaliating against expressive conduct, violating their peaceful assembly rights, restricting their right to a traditional public forum, and also engaging in viewpoint discrimination. They alleged that their Fourth Amendment rights were violated because the attack represented an illegal seizure. They also said their Fifth Amendment rights were violated in that the attack constituted excessive force violative of Due Process. They also included a Bivens claim and sued under the Posse Comitatus Act, which limits the capabilities of the President to use the military for domestic purposes. Plaintiffs requested injunctive relief, declaratory relief, monetary damages (including punitive damages), and attorneys' fees and costs. The case was assigned to Judge Dabney L. Friedrich.

On August 19 2020, Judge Friedrich ordered the parties in this case and Black Lives Matter D.C. v. Trump to propose a consolidated briefing schedule or to explain why briefing should not be consolidated given the similar factual and legal questions in each case. The parties agreed that briefing on the motion to dismiss should proceed on the same schedule. However, the federal defendants reserved the right to seek modification to the briefing schedule because the plaintiffs indicated that they would be seeking leave to file an amended complaint.

The plaintiffs then sought leave to file an amended complaint and the Court granted leave on September 3, 2020. In the amended complaint, the plaintiffs added several defendants, including the Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, the Chief of Columbia Metropolitan Police Department, numerous Metropolitan Police Department officers, officials from the United States Park Police, and officers from the Arlington County Police Department. The factual allegations, causes of actions, and sought after relief remained largely the same.

Each group of defendants proceeded to file motions to dismiss the claims asserted against them. On October 1, 2020, Attorney General William Barr and Acting Chief of the Park Police Gregory Monahan moved to dismiss the claims against them in their individual capacities. The same day, the United States filed a motion to dismiss the claims asserted against the federal defendants in their official capacities. The Arlington County Defendants also filed a motion to dismiss on October 2, 2020. Later on, on December 2, 2020, the Metropolitan Police Department defendants also filed a motion to dismiss.

On June 21, 2021, the court granted in part and denied in part these motions to dismiss. All of the claims were dismissed except for a First Amendment claim against federal defendants seeking an injunction against restricted access to Lafayette Park, and First Amendment claims based on restriction of speech and retaliation against individual defendants seeking damages. 544 F. Supp. 3d 15.

The court granted a stay on July 14, 2021, to allow the parties to engage in settlement talks. On April 13, 2022, a partial settlement in the case was reached when the Biden Administration agreed to make changes to U.S. Park Police and Secret Service policies related to policing demonstrations. The settlement required the Park Police to, among other things, show a “clear and present danger to the public safety” before revoking demonstration permits and to enable safe withdrawal of demonstrators if a protest is being dispersed.

The court entered partial final judgment pursuant to the settlement on May 16, 2022, but the settlement did not resolve claims for damages, which the court agreed to stay pending an interlocutory appeal based on the court’s June 21, 2021, decision to dismiss the Bivens claims against Attorney General Barr and other individual federal defendants. Judge Friedrich certified the issue to the D.C. Circuit Court, which accepted jurisdiction.

Oral argument was scheduled for April 4, 2023. As of June 2, 2023, this case remains ongoing.
