U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit

Detiege v. Jackson

September 8, 2026

Summary

The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal of the plaintiffs' §1983 claim, holding that Senator Katrina R. Jackson's blocking of Twitter users was not state action because she lacked statutory or customary authority to speak on behalf of the State. Accordingly, the district court's grant of summary judgment was proper.
