The No Political Enemies Act prohibits federal officials from initiating or directing enforcement actions against individuals or organizations based on their protected speech or participation. It allows covered persons to seek injunctive relief and damages in federal court if they can demonstrate that a government action was substantially motivated by protected speech. The act also mandates that the Department of Justice report quarterly to Congress on certain enforcement actions.
