A covered person may bring a civil action in an appropriate district court of the United States or the United States District Court for the District of Columbia seeking injunctive or other equitable relief against a covered Federal official who, and any Federal agency in the executive branch that, has taken, is taking, or imminently will take a covered Government action substantially motivated by the protected speech or participation of the covered person. A civil action under subsection
(a)lies whenever a covered Government action causes or is likely to cause imminent or actual ongoing harm to a covered person. For purposes of establishing a basis for relief— a violation of the rights of a covered person under the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States shall be sufficient to establish harm warranting injunctive or other equitable relief; and if a covered person demonstrates a likelihood of success in showing that the covered person is the subject of a covered Government action substantially motivated by protected speech or participation, that shall be sufficient to establish irreparable harm for purposes of emergency, temporary, or preliminary injunctive relief. The Federal courts shall have jurisdiction of a civil action under subsection
(a)without regard to section 1346(a), 2342, or 2349 of title 28, United States Code, section 701(a) of title 5, United States Code, or section 242 of the Immigration and Nationality Act ( 8 U.S.C. 1252 ). A Federal court may issue an injunction in a civil action under subsection
(a)to restrain the assessment or collection of a tax, without regard to section 7421 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, if the covered person seeking the injunction demonstrates that the action of the Government seeking to deny, investigate, or revoke the tax-exempt status of the covered person is substantially motivated by protected speech or participation.
