Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, one of the attorneys representing Carey, said the veteran’s legal team is prepared to respond to any action from the White House. “If the administration seeks to charge Mr. Carey based on the unconstitutional exhortations of the executive order, then it will be challenged,” said Verheyden-Hilliard, executive director of the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund and its project, the Center for Protest Law & Litigation. “We stand with [veterans] in defending against this authoritarian crackdown and effort to impose government restrictions on what the American people may say and think.”
