Selah City Attorney threatens lawsuit over BLM chalk art

SELAH, Wash.-The City Attorney in Selah has sent a family a warning that if they draw "Black Lives Matter" chalk art on city streets again, they could face prosecution.

Since June 7th, members of the family and others have drawn BLM artwork, only to have the city wash it off the next day, following complaints by citizens.

In a statement, the ACLU of Washington criticized prosecuting people for using chalk to express political opinions on public streets and sidewalks, saying it raises potential First Amendment concerns.
