Tulsa attorneys file lawsuit to enforce safety measures at Trump rally
By Kaelan Deese - 06/16/20 05:23 PM EDT

Two Tulsa, Okla., attorneys filed a lawsuit Tuesday to try to enforce coronavirus safety measures at President Trump's rally at the BOK Center.

Trump is set to hold a rally at the indoor sports venue Saturday, the first he has planned since March, around the time when the U.S. was hit hard by the pandemic.

Attorneys Clark Brewster and Paul DeMuro said they filed the lawsuit to compel the management company ASM Global to enforce social distancing measures and mandate face masks for all of those at the rally, including for those who are working the event.


Both Brewster and DeMuro said that an event of this size would cause a rapid spread virus in the city, according to a local ABC affiliate.

Judge rejects bid to stop Trump rally

An attempt to force social-distancing measures at Saturday’s Make America Great Again rally in Oklahoma, or potentially shut down the event as a virus “super-spreader,” has failed.

Numerous news outlets reported Tuesday evening that Judge Rebecca Nightingale had rejected the lawsuit in Tulsa County court brought by two local black-history organizations — The Greenwood Cultural Centre and the John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation.

The lawsuit had sought a temporary injunction against ASM Global, the company that manages the 19,000-seat BOK Center, according to the lawsuit, “to protect against a substantial, imminent, and deadly risk to the community.”
