If you were banned from city hall or a government building because of something you said, that may violate your First Amendment rights. In Kentucky and Ohio, bans without clear reasons or due process are often unconstitutional.
If you’ve been banned from city hall or any government property, the first step is to ask for written notice explaining the reason and duration of the ban. Government agencies must follow due process, and bans that result from your protected speech—such as criticism of officials or participation in public meetings—may violate the First Amendment. In Kentucky and Ohio, courts have found that banning individuals from public spaces without fair procedures or justification can be unconstitutional. A First Amendment attorney can help challenge the ban and protect your rights.
