A federal judge has ruled Cleveland’s sweeping restrictions on protests during the Republican National Convention next month are unconstitutional. The ruling comes after the American Civil Liberties Union sued Cleveland. The city had demarcated a 3.3-square-mile “Event Area” in downtown Cleveland that would have been subject to broad restrictions during the convention, including banning everyday items such as umbrellas with metal tips, glass bottles, canned goods, large backpacks and sleeping bags.
