Borecky v. Nassau County

On behalf of two Long Islanders whose speech supporting immigrants’ rights has been stifled, the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) filed a lawsuit against Nassau County, County Executive Bruce Blakeman, and the Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder challenging Nassau’s law prohibiting constitutionally protected speech and protest within 35 and 100 feet of houses of worship, respectively. The lawsuit argues that the laws violate the First Amendment and Due Process, and seeks to declare them unlawful and enjoin their enforcement.
