But these events weren\u2019t enough to allow conspiracy claims to go forward without further, specific factual allegations, Friedrich wrote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-el=\"text\">She also refused, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/06\/21\/judge-tosses-suit-lafayette-park-protesters-495370\">Politico added<\/a>, to grant protesters an injunction against further action on the part of the federal government \u2014 a request that could, essentially, allow them to avoid arrest.<\/p>\n<p data-el=\"text\">\u201cThe plaintiffs\u2019 claims of impending future harm are too speculative to confer standing to seek an injunction,\u201d the judge noted.<\/p>\n<p data-el=\"text\">In their suit, BLM and the ACLU claimed that Park Police \u201cofficers attacked and improperly dispersed the protesters\u2014they did not restrain them or attempt to seize them in place\u2026,\u201d but the judge responded that \u201cquite the opposite was true\u2014the officers attempted to cause the protestors and fleeing crowd to leave their location, rather than cause them to remain there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-el=\"text\">The Office of the Inspector General for the U.S. Department of the Interior found, earlier this month, that a decision was made to expand the perimeter in Lafayette Square and press protesters back before President Trump decided to take a walkabout, traveling from the White House across the square to St. Paul\u2019s Church, which sustained some fire damage in earlier aggressive protests. Park Police, the report notes, were, in some cases, surprised that to see the president.<\/p>\n<p data-el=\"text\">\u201cThe evidence we obtained did not support a finding that the [United States Park Police] cleared the park to allow the president to survey the damage and walk to St. John\u2019s Church. Instead, the evidence we reviewed showed that the USPP cleared the park to allow the contractor to safely install the antiscale fencing in response to the destruction of property and injury to officers occurring on May 30 and 31,\u201d the Inspector General\u2019s report read.<\/p>\n<p data-el=\"text\"><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
