American satirical publication The Onion on Monday filed an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of an Ohio man who is suing his local police department for violating his First Amendment rights by arresting him over a satirical Facebook page.

Anthony Novak was arrested in 2016 after he launched a Facebook page that looked almost identical to that of the Parma, Ohio, Police Department’s official Facebook page.
