Amanda McGonigle, who runs the satirical Instagram account CatsOnACouch, sued after the Secret Service prevented her from entering a taxpayer-funded event with Vice President JD Vance in May. The lawsuit alleges the exclusion was politically motivated and violated McGonigle's First Amendment rights. The complaint seeks to hold the Secret Service and officials connected to Vance accountable for barring her from the public event.
