Court Says Encouraging Illegal Travel to U.S. is Free Speech
A federal law barring Americans from encouraging or inducing foreign nationals to illegal travel to or stay in the United States has been stricken down. On Tuesday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the conviction of California resident Evelyn Sineneng-Smith. Sineneng-Smith, writes Bloomberg.com, was prosecuted under a law the 9th Circuit called “unconstitutionally overbroad.”
