On December 23, U.S. District Judge Amir H. Ali ruled that Trump’s March 22, 2025, memorandum revoking Zaid’s clearance violated the First Amendment, due process, and amounted to unconstitutional retaliation for his work on whistleblowers during the 2019 Ukraine impeachment.

We have a Muslim foreigner judge blocking the president of the United States from taking steps to strengthen our National Security.

And how in the hell is a dual citizen whose loyalty is split between the US and Canada or any other country allowed to… Read more »
