The No Political Enemies Act aims to prevent the government from targeting individuals or organizations for their political speech or participation. It prohibits federal officials from initiating or directing enforcement actions against covered persons based on protected speech or participation. A covered person can bring a civil action for injunctive or equitable relief if they demonstrate that a government action is substantially motivated by protected speech or participation. The act also allows for the awarding of attorney's fees and costs in certain cases.
