A Florida judge has overturned the firearms prohibition placed on journalist James O’Keefe just one day after West Palm Beach police entered his newsroom headquarters and confiscated all of his firearms.
O’Keefe announced the victory on social media. “Judge Marie E. Mato has just OVERTURNED the firearms prohibition placed upon me in the state of Florida,” O’Keefe wrote. “Order forthcoming. At a hearing in Miami this morning, the Judge Mato stated: ‘Mr. O’Keefe you are free to pickup your firearms in West Palm Beach at the Sheriff’s Office.'”
Judge Marie E. Mato acknowledged O’Keefe’s compliance with the prior order despite his objections. “I appreciate your compliance Mr. O’Keefe with this court’s order despite your objection,” Judge Mato said. “But I’m deleting those provisions.”
The episode stems from a bitter dispute between O’Keefe and Matthew Tyrmand, a former Project Veritas board member. In February 2026, O’Keefe released undercover footage in which Tyrmand allegedly admitted to being an FBI informant against conservative organizations and made statements about wanting to kill O’Keefe. The footage also showed Tyrmand having shot rifle bullets through a physical copy of O’Keefe’s book Breakthrough, through the image of O’Keefe’s heart on the cover.
