(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced that a U.S. District Judge in California awarded Judicial Watch $22,000 in legal fees in a case filed by an Antifa organizer in an effort to block Judicial Watch from obtaining information about her activities.
Yvette Felarca, a middle school teacher in the Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD), and two co-plaintiffs were ordered to pay Judicial Watch $22,000 in attorneys fees and $4,000 in litigation costs. Felarca had sued the BUSD in federal court to keep the school district from fulfilling its legal obligation to provide Judicial Watch with records of their communications mentioning: Felarca, Antifa, and/or BAMN. Judicial Watch also asked for Felarcas personnel file.
Felarca is a prominent figure in By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), a group founded by the Marxist Revolutionary Workers League that protests conservative speaking engagements. In 2016, Felarca and two of her allies were arrested and charged with several crimes, including felony assault, for inciting a riot in Sacramento. Earlier this year, Felarca was ordered to stand trial for assault.
U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria, Northern District of California, who had previously ruled that Felarcas lawsuit was entirely frivolous, wrote in his ruling awarding legal fees to Judicial Watch that Felarca and her co-plaintiffs First Amendment claims were premised on the obviously baseless assumption that the First Amendment condemns the speech of some while condoning the ideological missions of others.
Judge Chhabria added that The plaintiffs also mischaracterized the documents under review and that the plaintiffs failed to grapple with the role Ms. Felarca played in making herself a topic of public discourse through her physical conduct at public rallies and her voluntary appearance on Fox News.

And yet she continues in a teaching position in California???
Common communist tactic on display.
Felarca tries to suppress any documentation of her activities, claiming her privacy would be violated.
But she engaged in said activities on the street, in full view of numerous news cameras.
Privacy indeed.
Let’s never forget, these creeps who wrap themselves in the 1A fully intend to seize power & tear up the entire Constitution, on the grounds it was written by white men who owned slaves.
Claiming 1A protections for themselves, while denying same to their opponents (us) is only the first step.
Amen! In a just World she would be decorating a lamp pole on the end of a rope.
Would probably serve to embellish here resume with the folks that hired her.
bttt
That was great.
better late than never
