A Philadelphia group known for Black Panther-style community patrols is fighting to restore several members' gun licenses after the city revoked them over an encounter with police earlier this year, the group's attorney tells Axios.

In Pennsylvania, owners of licensed firearms usually do not need a permit to openly carry their weapons — except in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia police sent a letter to at least four members of the Black Lion Party for International Solidarity, including its leader, Paul Birdsong, in February, indicating their gun licenses had been revoked, the members' attorney, Lyandra Retacco, tells Axios.

The arrests have resulted in dramatic scenes in courthouse hallways as those being detained were sometimes pulled away from emotional family members.

Until this past weekend, a contractor for the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) maintained a public GitHub repository that exposed credentials to several highly privileged AWS GovCloud accounts and a large number of internal CISA systems. Security experts said the public archive included files detailing how CISA builds, tests and deploys software internally, and that it represents one of the most egregious government data leaks in recent history.
