WARNING: Disorderly Conduct statute enforcement is now
allowed

Earlier this year, federal judge Grady ruled that one section of Chicago's Disorderly Conduct statute was unconstitutional. This section allowed the police to "disperse" and arrest protestors exercising their 1st Amendment, merely on the police subjective judgement.

One month later, the judge issued an injunction prohibiting the police from enforcing that (unconstitutional) section of the Disorderly Conduct statute.

On Wednesday, June 3, the judge "stayed" (lifted) that injunction until the City finishes appealing his ruling.

THIS MEANS THAT THE CHICAGO POLICE CAN CONTINUE TO ORDER PROTESTERS TO MOVE (e.g. to a "free-speech zone") AND TO ARREST THEM IF THEY REFUSE, FOR THE NEAR FUTURE.
