CALABASAS -- The city of Calabasas could be slapped with a freedom-of-speech lawsuit unless it reverses a policy of barring grant funds from those who sue the city, the ACLU announced Monday.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California called the city's policy discriminatory and said it violates the First Amendment.
The group warned the city in a letter that unless it repeals the policy, Calabasas will likely face a lawsuit and a possible federal court injunction.
