"We're fixing a problem we don't have by making it harder for citizens to vote. That's not integrity. That's barriers." —Gail Symons. And we couldn't agree more.

This is creating solutions for problems that don't exist. We see these bills for what they are: An attempt to sow distrust in the system and undermine election results should anti-voter extremists dislike them. cowboystatedaily.com/2025/11/04/b...

Wyoming elections have proven to be safe and secure. These unnecessary bills would inject chaos and confusion into Wyoming elections and our counties would pay the cost.

ACLU of Wyoming Advocacy Director Antonio Serrano recently sat down with Wyoming Watch to discuss the realities of public safety, community trust and 287(g) agreements. Listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

What the National Guard is supposed to do: 🔵Aid in disaster relief 🔵Respond to domestic emergencies 🔵Train for overseas combat

Thank you, Laramie, for defending our right to read! We love to see Wyomingites speaking up like this and supporting our First Amendment rights. 🧵1/3

The right to vote is the fundamental right on which all other civil liberties rest. On this #NationalVoterRegistrationDay, take time to register to vote or confirm your voter registration at vote.gov.

Using a local jail to detain people for ICE, some who have no criminal record, and expecting to use it as a funding solution is inhumane, cruel and short-sighted. Sheriff Kopp, get your money elsewhere, because tearing families apart is not in the best interest of Wyoming or your budget.

The Supreme Court has been clear: Desecrating the flag, including by burning it, is protected by the First Amendment.

"Many of our lawmakers are spending considerable time and resources attacking our right to cast a ballot. ... We deserve better than elected officials who are weaponizing xenophobia and the myth of voter fraud to jeopardize these very basic rights for our democracy."

While Sens. Barrasso and Lummis applaud Trump's executive order instructing prosecutors to go after protestors who desecrate the American flag, we need to remind them that the Supreme Court has been clear: Desecrating the flag, including by burning it, is protected by the First Amendment.

Can humor help us make sense of unprecedented threats to our civil liberties? That's the question W. Kamau Bell and Mo Fry Pasic explore in this week's episode of the At Liberty podcast. www.aclu.org/podcast/live...

“The fear among immigrants and their loved ones across Wyoming is palpable,” the @acluwyoming.bsky.social said. "Heightening this fear by mobilizing the National Guard will continue to drain resources and contribute to even more devastation in our communities.”

As students head back to school this fall, remember this; Classroom censorship doesn't help students learn — it keeps them from being able to ask important questions and freely discuss the history, viewpoints, and ideas of all communities in this country.

Surveillance cameras are no longer just recording our comings and goings — they're using AI to decide whether we should be reported to law enforcement. An algorithm can't be trusted to determine who is a threat.

Despite what many people think, achieving the American dream as an immigrant isn’t easy — and there are widespread misconceptions about how the immigration system actually works. ACLU of Wyoming Advocacy Director Antonio Serrano breaks it down.

“Wyoming is just becoming more and more anti-immigrant and that idea is just being reinforced by these policies," the ACLU told @wyofile.com. "When a significant chunk of the community is afraid to call law enforcement because they feel targeted by them, it’s not good for anybody in the community.”

State troopers will tighten the net for undocumented immigrants in five counties, though the agency's chief says the number of participating officers will start small. The Wyoming American Civil Liberties Union warns the agreement could deter immigrants from reporting crimes.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested at least nine people last week in Teton and Lincoln counties. The multi-day operation, staged out of Pinedale, spurred fear, uncertainty and protest. Read more ➡️ wyofile.com/detaining-ja...

As the Trump administration continues to attack the press, we investigate how a historic civil rights-era Supreme Court case defended journalistic freedom.

Trump dijo que ICE iba tras “lo peor de lo peor”. Los datos de dicha agencia Rocky Mountain dicen lo contrario.

The Trump Administration said ICE is going after the “worst of the worst.” The agency’s Rocky Mountain data shows otherwise. Immigration arrests have almost tripled in Wyoming since Trump returned to office in January.

Validating driver's permits of undocumented residents of other states won't make Wyoming roads safer, but it will make the state more inhospitable to immigrants.

Invalidar los permisos de conducir de residentes indocumentados de otros estados no hará que las carreteras de Wyoming sean más seguras, pero sí hará que el estado sea más inhóspito para los inmigrantes.

Keeping people who aren’t U.S. citizens from voting has been a priority for some of our elected officials, but non-citizens aren’t trying to cast a ballot in Wyoming, as an investigation in Laramie County found. Let’s stop scapegoating immigrants.

Welcome, Sarah! Sarah's skills in multimedia production combined with her background in journalism and nonprofit communications made her a natural fit for the digital communications associate role at the ACLU of Wyoming, and we couldn't be happier to have her on our team!

New podcast alert! We asked trans rights activists how they’re navigating President Trump’s escalating abuses of power and how they’re finding joy this Pride month. Hear their answers on the latest episode of At Liberty: www.aclu.org/podcast/who-...

Today’s ruling is a devastating loss for transgender people and our families, and an affront to the Constitution. We'll continue to fight alongside trans youth in Tennessee and across the nation for the health care they deserve.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled Tennessee’s law banning gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth can remain in effect. This is devastating for trans people and our families but doesn’t end our work against President Trump’s attacks on trans people and our health care.

More than 5 million people rallied at over 2,100 events across the country on Saturday, condemning President Trump’s escalating abuses of power. CNN published a great gallery of photos from across the country, including this one from the rally Jackson. 🧵 1/2

Planning to protest? Know your rights.

Communities nationwide are taking to the streets on June 14 to tell the Trump administration: We won't stay quiet when our freedoms are under attack. Will we see you out there?

Due process is not an option, it’s a right - whether President Trump likes it or not.

Families come in many diverse forms, and all deserve respect and protection. Our laws should reflect and protect all forms of loving and supportive relationships, not discriminate against non-traditional family forms.

You have the right to be visible, loud, and boldly you.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem couldn't define habeas corpus - but you can.

Pride is celebratory! 🎉 Pride is colorful! 🌈 Pride is inclusive! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤 Pride is supportive! 👏🏾 Pride is (still) protest! 📣 Pride is how we show our love and support for the LGBTQ+ and Two Spirit community in Wyoming. What does Pride mean to you?

For years due process has protected us from unfair, unlawful and unequal treatment. But what is due process? Why do we all have a stake in defending it? If you've got questions, we've got answers.

We the people means ALL the people.

President Trump is committed to his goal of carrying out mass deportations. While Trump is happy to act on his own to sow terror in immigrant communities, he's equally eager to make state and local governments do his dirty work, including by expanding the notorious 287(g) program. 🧵 1/2

Immigrants are, and always have been, an important part of our country. And immigrants, too, are protected by U.S. laws and the Constitution.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees may soon be legally held at the Laramie County jail, pending the approval of a supplemental Intergovernmental Agreement between the two agencies. 🧵 1/6

We all deserve the freedom to be happy and safe. To determine what’s right for our own families, bodies, and lives. To be loved for exactly who we are. That’s what we are fighting for.

Seeking asylum is a legal right, whether the Trump administration likes it or not.

As one of his first official acts of his current term, President Donald Trump removed a longstanding policy that protected “sensitive locations,” such as churches and schools, by limiting immigration enforcement at those locations. 🧵 1/6
