The 64-year-old woman is claiming a First Amendment violation along with racial discrimination.

Awoman who said she was prevented from entering Citi Field, where the New York Mets play, is suing the organization for damages.

Aura Moody said in August that she and her friend were both wearing MAGA hats when they were told by a Citi Field staff member they were not allowed inside the stadium with the Trump-supporting hats on.

The staffer also allegedly refused to allow the women to keep their hats in their bags, forcing Moody, 64, to call another friend in order to put the hats back in their vehicle.

Moody is seeking $2 million from the team and Citi Field, stating that the incident violated her free speech rights and caused her "emotional distress."

'It was embarrassing. It was heartbreaking. It was shocking. It was humiliating.'

The woman visited the Mets' field with a group of women from the Queens Village Republican Club, saying, "We are conservative people, we believe in tolerance. If I was wearing a BLM, Biden, Harris hat, they would have let me go through."
