Stars and Stripes Journalists Sue Pentagon | US News

Three Stars and Stripes journalists are suing the Trump administration after being fired, claiming their First Amendment rights were violated — alleging retaliation for reporting on poor conditions aboard the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln and speaking out against military censorship. The lawsuit targets the Pentagon, arguing new policies and leadership changes, including the surprise appointment of a service member as deputy publisher, threaten the newspaper’s editorial independence and historic mission to provide unbiased news to military families. The journalists seek a court order to halt their dismissals and block policies they say undermine journalistic freedom.
