Federal Judge Strikes Down Sanctions on UN Special Rapporteur: A victory for free speech and family ties, as a judge rules that U.S. sanctions on Francesca Albanese, a UN special rapporteur, violate the First Amendment. Albanese, an Italian living in Tunisia, was sanctioned by the U.S. for advocating for war crimes charges against Israeli officials over Gaza actions. The sanctions, imposed under an executive order from President Trump, froze her familys bank access, blocked U.S. travel, and even denied health insurance claims. The judge dismissed the administrations licenses for some transactions as too vague to protect her rights, highlighting the tension between foreign policy tools and free expression.
