Dear Friend of Press Freedom, Government lawyers are lying to courts to justify attacks on reporters covering immigration. Meanwhile, immigrant journalists like Ya’akub Vijandre remain locked up by Immigration and Customs Enforcement for exercising their rights. And corporate capitulators are looking to take over more news outlets to help the administration cover all of it up. Read on for more. More news holdings for Paramount harms press freedom — and the bottom line Netflix has reportedly declined to increase its bid for Warner Bros. Discovery after Warner deemed Paramount’s latest competing bid superior. That paves the way for Paramount, led by Donald Trump ally David Ellison, to take over Warner and its media holdings, including CNN and HBO. We said in a statement that Paramount boss Ellison “will readily throw the First Amendment, CNN’s reporters, and HBO’s filmmakers under the bus if they stand in the way of expanding his corporate empire and fattening his pockets. But censorship is bad for business. ... Selling companies that depend on the First Amendment to a censorial White House puppet is not only morally wrong but harmful to their bottom line.” Order restricting Natanson search didn’t go far enough Judge William Porter imposed significant restrictions on the government’s ability to search materials seized from Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson during the raid of her home last month. He also made clear his displeasure with prosecutors’ omission of any mention of the Privacy Protection Act of 1980 — which prohibits searches of reporters’ materials in most circumstances — from their warrant application. Porter was right to treat the seizure as a prior restraint and to limit the government from fishing through the irrelevant data it seized to snoop on reporters. He is also right to reprimand prosecutor Gordon Kromberg and his team for failing to disclose the Privacy Protection Act. But the order didn’t go far enough. Porter should have required all of Natanson’s materials seized pursuant to the deceptive warrant application to be returned to her. And he should not have credited the administration’s claims that any of the seized materials posed a national security threat without strict proof, because the administration has earned zero deference from the judiciary on claims of national security threats. We also updated and resubmitted our attorney disciplinary complaint against Kromberg — which the Virginia Bar previously punted to the courts — in light of Porter’s ruling. Government lawyers: Don’t make up terrorist attacks Speaking of attorney disciplinary complaints, our latest one is against Sean Skedzielewski, who defended the government in lawsuits to stop ICE abuses of protesters and journalists in Los Angeles and Chicago. In the Chicago case, he told the judge that “violent terrorist organizations” were attacking federal agents in “riots” and exposing their families to danger through “doxing.” All of that is complete nonsense. It shouldn’t be a heavy lift to convince an attorney disciplinary office that it’s unethical for government lawyers to make up a terrorist attack on America’s third-largest city to justify the violent suppression of First Amendment rights. But considering the spinelessness of those offices these days, the complaint may prove to be a long shot. Learn how to FOIA from the pros FPF hosted a webinar this week to spotlight how journalists and transparency advocates use both local and federal public records requests to pry loose what the government would rather keep secret.

(The Center Square) – A Washington state bill that would dissolve a pension plan created in the 1960s and closed to new members in 1977 took a barrage of criticism during a Feb. 26 public hearing in the Senate Ways & Means, with opponents arguing the proposal is both illegal and threatens other plans. Under House Bill 2034 sponsored by Rep. Timm Ormsby, D-Spokane, Law Enforcement Officer and Fire Fighter Plan 1 would be dissolved, reinstated, with $4.5 billion taken from the fund and placed elsewhere. While analysis of the proposal by both the State Attorney General’s Office and pension law firm Ice Miller concluded it is likely to be found legal, critics such as LEOFF 1 Coalition Executive Director Joyce Willms told the committee during the public hearing that they can expect a lawsuit if it passes. “You guys made a promise to them, so why don' t you keep it?” she said. “Do you realize what you're doing is violating the Washington State Constitution? Just leave things alone. We have a problem, yes – we've a spending problem. The LEOFF 1 fund was never meant to be a savings account. If you pass this into law, all pensions, so no matter what your pension is, it's opening up the door to be raided.” While not opposed to HB 2034, LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board Executive Director Steve Nelsen expressed concerns during public testimony over a provision in the bill that moves the responsibility of the Select Committee on Pension Policy to oversee and make recommendations on policies and funding for the Restated LEOFF to the LEOFF Plan 2 Board. Others speaking in opposition was Patrick McElligott, vice president of Tacoma Professional Firefighters Local 31. “As members in Ways and Means Committee, you are tasked with solving difficult budget challenges, but balancing the state budget by restructuring LEOFF Plan 1 in a way that allows surplus pension assets to be redirected for other purposes sets a troubling precedent," he said. "These funds exist because of disciplined contributions and responsible investment performance, not because they were intended to be used to offset general fund pressures.” LEOFF Plan 1 retiree David Maehren told the committee that they shouldn’t just “pension funds to patch a hole in the state budget. The state and federal law says pension fund are for the benefit of the pension members – honor the law. If you're not, certainly legal action will follow.” According to a 2024 actuarial valuation, the LEOFF Plan 1 is 160% overfunded, albeit the valuation is based in part on the assumed rate of return on pension investments set by the state Legislature. Recently, the Legislature voted to raise that assumed rate to 7.25%, the highest of any state in the country. Candice Bock with the Association of Washington Cities told Ways and Means that LEOFF Plan 1 “is significantly overfunded and taxpayer resources are scarce. It's good to look at ways to use those dollars effectively.” She added that there are “considerable expenses still at the local level tied to these retirees, as you've heard, in the medical benefits, and for some cities over the years, those costs have exceeded what they spend on current active-duty employee medical benefit. So, we would really like to see at least some of these funds dedicated to those needs.” Maehren noted that “the bill targets a surplus that's not assured. I've lived through times when investments have dropped 50%. It will happen again. This bill fails to recognize the contributions that the members have made that help create that surplus. I think that should be honored.” Retired Tacoma firefighter and Tacoma LEOFF Disability Board member John Carman told Ways & Means the bill is “simply legally, ethically, wrong. What are you going to spend our money on? It's general state funding, as it says. This bill contains no guarantees. What is a promise? A promise is something that you will do. When is the promise not a promise? Apparently, when it's a Washington state law.”

(The Center Square) – Rocket Companies and Compass International Holdings announced a three-year alliance this week designed to expand housing inventory on Redfin’s platform and provide sellers more flexibility in how they list their homes. Rocket, the Detroit-based mortgage lender and parent company of Redfin, said Compass’ “Coming Soon” listings will now appear immediately on Redfin.com. “Private Exclusive” properties will soon follow. The companies said the move could bring over 500,000 additional listings to Redfin through Compass’ network, which includes brands such as @properties, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, CENTURY 21, Christie’s International Real Estate, Coldwell Banker, Corcoran, ERA, and Sotheby’s International Realty. Through the partnership, sellers working with Compass can display homes on Redfin with no days on market, no price history, and no automated home valuation estimates. Listings remain compliant with Multiple Listing Service rules, the companies said. “Some sellers want maximum exposure immediately," Redfin said in a press release. "Others want to test pricing before going fully public. Some prefer privacy. Others do not want their home syndicated across thousands of websites that begin tracking negative insights like days on market and price history on day one.” “Offering seller choice and making it easier to test the market without negative insights has the potential to increase overall inventory coming on the market, resulting in improved access and affordability for homebuyers," the company added. Rocket CEO Varun Krishna said supply remains the central problem. “When barriers are removed, and supply grows, affordability improves,” Krishna said. “Today’s challenge is friction in the homebuying process and a lack of inventory. By bringing search, agents, and financing into one connected platform, we can help more sellers enter the market, reduce complexity for buyers, and make homeownership more attainable.” Compass Chairman and CEO Robert Reffkin said sellers want more control. “We believe listing agents should be connected directly with interested buyers, and sellers should have the freedom to list their homes in the manner and method they choose without fear of misleading insights that damage its value,” Reffkin said. Rocket also announced mortgage incentives for Compass clients, including a one-percentage-point interest-rate reduction for the first year of a loan or a lender credit of up to $6,000 to reduce upfront costs or first-year payments. The announcement comes as President Donald Trump has made housing affordability a focus of his second term. “Mortgage rates are the lowest in four years and falling fast, and the annual cost of a typical new mortgage is down almost $5,000 just since I took office," Trump said during his State of the Union address. “Low interest rates will solve the Biden-created housing problem while at the same time protecting the values of those people who already own a house," he added. Economists have long argued that expanding supply remains the most direct way to address housing costs.
