MuckRock is just the next in a long line of broad support for Villarreal. If you are wondering about why this case has so much attention, this page[1] has a bit of a higher level view in less than 35 pages of legalese.

IANAL but it seems highly absurd to give qualified immunity to government officials broadly violating at least the 1st amendment and justifying the arrest using terms that violate the 5th amendment. How can you arrest someone for requesting information?!?
