This ruling would seem to violate First Amendment rights on multiple levels.
(Above the Law)Chief Judge Cecilia Altonaga put out an administrative order stating that “on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, all cellular phones and/or electronic equipment are hereby prohibited for news reporters and other members of the media inside the Wilkie D. Ferguson, Jr. United States Courthouse in Miami.”
This would appear to ban members of the media from bringing their phones and/or laptops into the courthouse at all, even to the overflow room where them will be housed during the hearing to watch the proceedings — i.e., on television. So there will be no live-tweeting or contemporaneous coverage.
