Courthouse News Service: A man cited for projecting “stop ICE murders” on the Colorado Supreme Court is suing members of the city police department and Colorado State Patrol claiming violations of his right to free speech and petition.

On Jan. 31, officers seized Trevor Ycas’ projector and cited him for violating a city advertising ordinance after he flashed political slogans on the Ralph L. Carr Colorado Judicial Center in Denver during a demonstration. The messages included “stop ICE murders,” “de-ICE Colorado,” and “abolish ICE.”

“Mr. Ycas’ projection was core political speech at a traditional public forum on a matter of significant public concern. And, the ordinance defendants chose to weaponize against him, by its plain text, had nothing to do with political projection at all,” Ycas wrote in the 15-page complaint filed in the Denver County District Court Monday night.
