AFLC Sues Michigan Attorney General Over Policy to Target Groups Based on Political Views

"(Lansing, Michigan)—Today, the American Freedom Law Center (AFLC) filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Dana Nessel, the Attorney General of Michigan, and Agustin V. Arbulu, the Director of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, challenging their recently announced policy directive to unlawfully target groups in Michigan designated by the radical, leftist Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) as “hate” groups.

Nessel and Arbulu publicly announced their new policy on February 22, 2019.

AFLC’s lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan. It alleges that the challenged policy directive violates AFLC’s fundamental rights protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution by unlawfully targeting AFLC for disparate treatment based on AFLC’s political views and the political views of those it represents in court."
