New Hampshire’s Supreme Court upheld a dismissal of civil rights complaints against a group displaying racist banners, citing unconstitutional overreach in prosecutors' interpretation of trespassing under the state Civil Rights Act.
against a white nationalist group that prosecutors say trespassed when it displayed without a permit “Keep New England White” banners from an overpass in 2022.
“Such a broad sweep discourages the expression of certain messages for fear of government sanctions under the Act based on the content of the messages expressed,” the court wrote in its opinion. “Our office remains steadfast in enforcing the Civil Rights Act to ensure all Granite Staters are free from discrimination, violence, and hate-motivated threats. We will continue to explore all options to protect the rights and safety of our communities,” the statement said.
