1/🧵We were in federal court last week to defend Army veteran Jay Carey. We’ve moved to dismiss the outrageous charges the Trump Admin has leveled against him for burning a flag to protest the President’s directive against flag burning – a First Amendment protected right.

“'I served this country for over 20 years, having taken an oath to upheld our Constitution. I did not take an oath to serve a dictator, a tyrant or a wannabe king,' Jay Carey told reporters after the hearing."

Mr. Carey is represented by the PCJF.

Jay Carey, the North Carolina veteran facing criminal charges for burning an American flag near the White House last month, says President Trump violated his oath by trying to restrict free speech.

"Our First Amendment rights are sacrosanct," Carey said. https://t.co/ehhEaHplNl

The PCJF is defending Jay Carey; Executive Director Mara Verheyden-Hilliard spoke to @starsandstripes:

“If the administration seeks to charge Mr. Carey based on the unconstitutional exhortations of the executive order, then it will be challenged.

Trump's just-issued EO directing the DoD to create a specialized National Guard unit as an occupying force in D.C. deputized to carry out law enforcement is not about "public safety." This is the march to militarize America's cities, destroying and subverting democracy.
