FIRE sues Michigan mayor who abused power, shouted down constituents

Описание к видео FIRE sues Michigan mayor who abused power, shouted down constituents

FIRE filed a federal lawsuit that will remind Monique Owens, mayor of Eastpointe, Michigan, that a mayor takes an oath to defend the Constitution, not herself. FIRE is representing four Eastpointe citizens — Mary Hall-Rayford, Karen Beltz, Cindy Federle, and Karen Mouradjian — who sued Owens and the city of Eastpointe, Michigan, to protect the rights of all Eastpointers to peacefully criticize government officials.

Owens was elected mayor of Eastpointe, a suburb of Detroit, in 2019. At a Sept. 6, 2022, city council meeting, Owens abused her power as the presiding officer by shouting down and suppressing criticism of her while the floor was open for public comments.
