ACLU files lawsuit against University of Michigan after pro-Palestine protesters banned from campus

  • The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit against the University of Michigan after it issued trespass bans to pro-Palestine protesters, including students and a community member, prohibiting them from campus without facing criminal charges for trespassing.
  • The lawsuit claims that the University is disproportionately targeting pro-Palestine protesters with these bans, which have been issued based on minor accusations like jaywalking or using a bullhorn.
  • Jonathan Zou, one of the plaintiffs, stated he was banned from campus for using a megaphone during a protest, affecting his ability to attend classes and participate in campus activities.
  • The lawsuit seeks to lift the bans and prevent the University from issuing similar trespass bans in the future, arguing that these actions violate free speech rights.
