This incident is a shocking reminder that the Trump administration's deportation agenda has never been about public safety. State lawmakers must act to protect our communities from violent ICE operations that undermine public safety, separate families, and spread chaos in our communities.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration's request to enforce its discriminatory passport policy while our lawsuit makes its way through the courts. This decision undermines the freedom of transgender, non-binary, and intersex people to have our IDs reflect who we are.

ACLU of MA has filed a brief with the SJC in support of the constitutional right to counsel. The Court should declare the current compensation scheme for bar advocates unconstitutional, and establish an immediate, temporary rate to address this violation until the Legislature develops a solution.

BREAKING: A federal court just certified a class in our case challenging the widespread denial of bond hearings in immigration courts covering several New England states. This is a major step toward securing due process for thousands who have been and will be jailed without justification by ICE.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that the FDA's unnecessary restrictions on medication abortion are unlawful and must be reconsidered. This ​decision reaffirms that our access to safe and essential medicines should be dictated by science, not politics.

ICE is using faulty and biased face surveillance technology to go after people they suspect of being undocumented. This is a direct threat to the fundamental rights of every individual and has no place in our cities.

Andrea Gibson’s writing centered around gender, queerness, mortality, and social justice. Their talent as a writer and spoken word poet was just one part of their activism.

Facial recognition technology gives the government unprecedented power to track our every move. Nine municipalities in Mass have passed local laws protecting privacy and racial justice–but everyone deserves protection. Tell lawmakers to finish the job: mobilize.aclum.org/a/regulate-f...

We all want what’s best for our kids. For parents of trans youth, gender-affirming care is an essential part of keeping their kids happy and healthy.

Health care should be between patients and their doctors–not politicians in Washington. The ACLU of MA applauds AG Campbell for her continued leadership in the fight against this dangerous attack on transgender people. Gender-affirming care is lifesaving care.

Since Standing Rock’s historic mobilization, states across the country have advanced anti-protest laws that criminalize resistance to fossil fuel projects. These laws target Indigenous-led movements and environmental defenders who speak out against the destruction of sacred lands and waters.

UPDATE: Our client is free and home with his family. He is free because the Court issued a PI ordering that he receive a bond hearing: www.aclum.org/sites/defaul... Many other people are still being unlawfully detained without due process. Class certification hearing scheduled for next week.

All people in the United States are entitled to due process — no matter what the Trump administration says.

BREAKING: We're asking the Supreme Court to reject the Trump administration's attempt to revive its discriminatory passport policy. Lower courts were right when they stopped the the State Department from denying transgender, non-binary, and intersex people accurate identification.

We will never stop fighting censorship efforts and advocating for our right to read and learn.

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered a bond hearing for our client who was deprived of the right to challenge his own detention by ICE. Our class action lawsuit will proceed in federal court to ensure due process for all people in New England, regardless of immigration status.

We’re in court today fighting for Mohsen Mahdawi and Rümeysa Öztürk. Mohsen and Rümeysa were released from ICE detention on bail after they were detained by the Trump administration in retaliation for their speech in support of Palestinian human rights. The First Amendment protects all of us.

When President Trump tries to silence dissent, we just get louder. From the ballot box to the picket line, the people have always fought back. Oct 18: No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. RSVP: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

BREAKING: President Trump is again asking the Supreme Court to let him end birthright citizenship. The administration can't dodge the fact this executive order is illegal. We'll keep fighting to ensure no child's citizenship is stripped away by this cruel and unconstitutional order.

BREAKING: The Massachusetts Senate passed the Massachusetts Data Privacy Act S.2608, which would provide strong privacy protections for us all — including a complete ban on sale of sensitive data. ACLU of MA and our fellow advocates applaud this action to protect our democracy and personal safety!

NEW: We filed a class action lawsuit to challenge the widespread denial of bond hearings to people detained by ICE in New England. All people in the United States are entitled to due process — no matter what the Trump administration says. www.aclum.org/en/press-rel...

This policy is a baseless violation on the freedoms of transgender, non-binary, and intersex people. We’ve challenged President Trump’s attempt to restrict our passports before, and won — we’re not stopping now.

We're in court today defending Quincy residents’ right to separation of church and state. This lawsuit aims to stop Quincy’s plan to install two 10-foot-tall statues of saints to a new public safety building. In Quincy, and everywhere, there must be a separation of church and state.

Three decades ago, we took the National Endowment for the Arts to court for rescinding grants to four applicants whose work was deemed too controversial by the government. Now, the NEA wants to force artists to adhere to President Trump's anti-trans agenda — and we're suing, again.

Since Inauguration day, we've been defending our civil liberties from President Trump in the courts, on the streets, and by lobbying Congress. And we won't back down. Count on it.

BREAKING: In what appears to be the first decision to address mandatory detention under the Laken Riley Act, a federal judge in Boston ruled today that detaining an individual solely on the basis of his prior arrest violates due process.

This action by the DOJ is not about public safety and instead reflects the administration’s attacks on America’s great cities. The ACLU will continue to stand up for the rule of law, the people of Boston, and elected officials who challenge this abuse of power. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/04/m...

BREAKING: Appeals court DENIES Trump administration's request to stay preliminary injunction granting continued access to accurate passports for many trans and nonbinary citizens. The lower court's order remains in effect, and passports with accurate gender markers are still available.

Every statewide election, thousands of Bay Staters go to vote only to learn there's an issue with their registration status that they can't fix and their vote doesn't count. Thousands. It's finally time for Same Day Voter Registration in Massachusetts.

Good. President Trump doesn’t get to bully private institutions into bending to his ideological will.
