A California resident is suing the state's Department of Motor Vehicles after her license plate reading 'RVRTSEA,' an abbreviation of the pro-Palestinian slogan 'from the river to the sea,' was revoked. Yasmin Abd al-Nabi, who received the personalized plate in May 2024, argues that its confiscation violates her right to free speech enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. The DMV ordered the plate returned following complaints from Jewish drivers who reported feeling fear and personally threatened. An administrative judge upheld the decision, ruling that the inscription could be interpreted as a call for genocide or incitement to violence. Abd al-Nabi denies that she intended to threaten or encourage violence and is asking a federal court to order the plate's return and affirm that the slogan is protected under free speech.
