...U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich dismissed protesters' claims for damages against officials such as then-President Donald Trump, then-Attorney General William Barr, then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper, and others for their part in the day's events, which included law enforcement pushing people out of the park using aggressive tactics.... ...Friedrich said the plaintiffs, whose complaints were filed by groups such as American Civil Liberties Union of D.C. and Black Lives Matter, had not "plausibly alleged the existence of a conspiracy" between those officials who "targeted black people and their supporters" as the plaintiffs claimed....

Former President Donald Trump, former Attorney General Bill Barr and other members of the Trump administration cannot be sued over the forcible clearing of Black Lives Matter protesters from Washington DC’s Lafayette Square last year, a federal judge ruled Monday. In a 51-page decision, US District Judge Dabney Friedrich tossed many of the claims in four overlapping lawsuits, which alleged that government officials used unnecessary force by ordering US Park Police to deploy rubber bullets, flash bang grenades and tear gas to disperse demonstrators on the evening of June 1, 2020. Protesters were pushed from the park across from the...
