Key Facts
—The case. Rumble and Trump Media are suing Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes in a US federal court in Florida over his orders to block social-media accounts.
—The latest move. On 14 July the two companies filed papers opposing Brazil’s request to throw the case out, keeping the lawsuit alive.
—Brazil’s argument. The government’s legal office, the AGU, says Moraes acted as a sitting judge, so his orders are shielded by state sovereign immunity under US law.
—The companies’ case. Rumble and Trump Media counter that Moraes overstepped by issuing orders that reach into the United States, in breach of free-speech protections.
