DETROIT — The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan filed a motion today asking a federal judge to order the South Lyon Community Schools to permit the distribution of a student newspaper entitled The First Amendment.

In a unanimous decision today, a federal appeals court struck down the government's blanket policy of conducting secret deportation hearings inpost-9/11 cases as a violation of the First Amendment. It is the first such decision by a federal appellate court anywhere in the country.
