Should Lawyers Publishing Blogs Worry? Probably.
Amir Daftari for Newsweek reports:
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has advised journalists traveling to the United States to take special precautions, citing growing concerns over potential new travel restrictions and increased scrutiny at U.S. borders under President Donald Trump’s administration.
It is particularly aimed at those covering politically sensitive stories and offered detailed legal, digital, and physical safety recommendations to help reporters navigate potential border searches, surveillance, and the risk of being detained or denied entry to the U.S.
Sure, legal blog publishers are not necessarily traveling across U.S. borders—though they could be and there is little question that lawyers publishing on subjects sensitive to the administration, which they should be, are going to be watched.
Like Robert Ambrogi recently said, everything we were taught in law school is being violated.
