New case! Last year, at the request of large dairy producers, Oregon agriculture officials decided to force small dairies to comply with the same regulations that apply to big dairies.

New case! After Theslet Benoir and Clemene Bastien received a permit to open the first food truck in the town of Parksley, Va., a member of the town council with ties to the restaurant industry harassed them, destroyed their property, and eventually convinced the rest of the council to ban food trucks. But the council assured Theslet and Clemene that they could continue operating until their permit expired … at least until IJ sent the council a letter asking them to reconsider the ban. The very next day, the town council sent Theslet and Clemene a letter ordering them to shut down immediately and threatening them with fines and jail for every day they had lawfully operated. Now, they've joined with IJ to sue the town and the council member to end this harassment and vindicate their constitutional rights. Click here to learn more.
