The stories of pregnant women in ICE detention — one shackled while miscarrying, another placed in solitary confinement with a high-risk pregnancy — are not one offs. They're a clear pattern of neglect where ICE ignores its own rules. This cruelty must end.

Prosecutors have a constitutional and ethical obligation to turn over evidence that would support a person’s claim of innocence to their attorney. Too often, they fail to do so even when life and death are at stake. Read our new report at aclu.org/report-wrongfulconvictions

Listen to the latest episode of our podcast, At Liberty, where our People Power volunteers discuss how you can show up for immigrants' rights in your community.

No one should be forced to carry a pregnancy against their will — regardless of how much money we earn or the type of health insurance plan we have. Tell Congress to stop anti-abortion politicians' latest effort to take away abortion access nationwide.

Incarcerated members of the LGBTQ community already face heightened risks for physical and sexual violence, and this directive to disregard the law will only put them further at risk. Human rights don't end at the prison walls.

In every corner of the country, community leaders like Reverend Dr. Beth Brown are meeting the moment and protecting their immigrant neighbors and loved ones from aggressive immigration enforcement.

Children born in the U.S. are being used as pawns to further President Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda. We’re fighting back at the Supreme Court.

Denise Lugo has been a home care worker supporting aging adults and people with disabilities in North Carolina for over 30 years. Now, the Labor Department wants to strip her and millions of other caregivers of minimum wage and overtime protections that could wreak havoc on their livelihoods.

The constitutional right to birthright citizenship is core to who we are as a country. We refuse to let President Trump do away with that right.

Adults shouldn't have to sacrifice their privacy in order to watch porn, R-rated movies, or anything else the government might deem offensive to kids. Keeping kids safe can't come at the expense of our free speech rights.

The 14th Amendment doesn’t mince words — birthright citizenship is a constitutionally protected right. We’re fighting at the Supreme Court against President Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship.

President Trump’s mass deportation agenda continues to fuel violence and violate constitutional rights, even against lawful observers and elected officials who show up for their communities.

160 years ago today, the 13th Amendment was ratified to end slavery, with one major exception: punishment for a crime. The legacy of slavery lives on as people behind bars are still coerced into working for mere pennies or nothing at all. It's long overdue to abolish slavery in all its forms.

Every federal court has ruled that President Trump's attempt to dismantle birthright citizenship is unconstitutional. We look forward to defeating him at the Supreme Court.

ICE is building new detention centers across the country, with very little oversight, endangering thousands of people in immigrant detention. Our elected leaders must act to hold ICE accountable.

The Trump administration has ordered at least 20 strikes on boats near Venezuela, killing over 85 people. These strikes are patently unlawful — just like Secretary Hegseth’s alleged order on September 2 to kill any survivors. Killing people with no due process is murder. Full stop.

NEW: The Trump administration sent Head Start employees a six-page list of "prohibited words" for grant applications, including terms like: disabilities, tribal, Black, and women. The administration wants to erase communities and block access to early childhood services. We'll see them in court.

President Trump is not above the Constitution. We’ll see him in the highest court in the land.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just announced it will hear our case challenging President Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship. Every child born on U.S. soil has a right to citizenship. We’ll see the president in court.

The World Cup is only months away and FIFA is failing to ensure players fans, and immigrant communities here will be protected from increasingly authoritarian ICE activity. FIFA must commit to enacting protections against racial profiling, arbitrary detention, and unlawful immigration enforcement.

Undocumented people who call the U.S. home have been telling us what they need for decades: a pathway to citizenship. Congress must support the Dream Act now to establish a crucial safeguard against the dehumanization, terror, and uncertainty this administration is inflicting on immigrants.

The decisions AI make about us are often discriminatory. The AI Civil Rights Act of 2025 would help ensure developers and deployers of artificial intelligence don't violate our civil rights.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court ruled to allow Texas to proceed with using a racially discriminatory voting map. Voters of color deserve to be heard – not silenced.

Inadequate food, beds, medicine, and more have plagued ICE detention facilities nationwide. These horrific and unsanitary conditions are inhumane and must end. Rep. Jayapal’s bill is the right step forward, and Congress must continue to hold ICE accountable by conducting oversight.

Congress is considering a drastic, first-of-its-kind federal ban on abortion coverage in private health insurance plans that receive tax credits through the Affordable Care Act. Urge your members of Congress to protect our reproductive freedom now. 

Since President Trump's second inauguration, the number of local police departments agreeing to coordinate with ICE has grown by more than 600%. Deputizing police to be deportation agents doesn't make us safer. Communities nationwide are fighting back. 

A federal judge this week rightfully blocked ICE from carrying out indiscriminate arrests in DC. ICE’s arrests without warrants or probable cause have made people live in fear of daily activities like driving in their own neighborhoods or walking their kids to school.

Somali immigrants make our country stronger. President Trump is yet again trying to demonize people who contribute to our communities to justify his cruel anti-immigrant agenda.

Our landmark 2020 Supreme Court case, Bostock v. Clayton County, guarantees that transgender people can't be fired because of our gender identity. Now, the Trump administration wants to abandon protecting workers who are trans — but federal law is on our side.

Dropping these magazines silences the perspectives of women and Black students and robs all students of valuable learning opportunities. All students have the freedom to express themselves on campus.

We are in federal court today arguing to restore the Student and Exchange Visa Information System (SEVIS) record for Rümeysa Öztürk, which was unlawfully terminated by the Trump administration. The legal team is seeking to restore Öztürk’s SEVIS record while her court case proceeds.

Jury service allows ordinary people to directly influence our justice system. Our experts answered your pressing questions about this important civic duty.

As schools buy invasive surveillance tech and increasingly incorporate AI into the classroom, we're calling on Congress to update privacy laws in order to protect students online and off.

Yesterday, we sent a letter to the Senate Armed Service Committee urging them to immediately hold public hearings on the Trump administration's lethal strikes on civilian boats. These strikes are a blatant abuse of power. We demand transparency and accountability.

Together, we have the power to resist attacks on our civil liberties. Join us.

Policymakers need to regulate AI to ensure it isn't undermining our rights and safety.

Anti-abortion groups are pushing to ban abortion coverage for anyone who gets tax credits to pay for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. If Congress caves, this would be the first federal ban on private insurance coverage of abortion, and could push care out of reach for millions.

Late last night, a federal court judge issued a ruling temporarily blocking the Trump administration from continuing to carry out indiscriminate immigration arrests in Washington, D.C. www.courthousenews.com/judge-orders...

The Trump administration is exploiting a tragedy to further its unabashedly anti-immigrant policies. From pausing asylum applications to a potential expansion of its racist travel ban, these cruel ideas have been on its ugly agenda for a long time.

BREAKING: We filed a class action lawsuit to stop all Texas public schools from displaying the Ten Commandments in their classrooms. Judges have blocked our prior plaintiffs' schools from enforcing a Texas law mandating these unconstitutional displays. We're asking the courts to block it statewide.

We're celebrating our People Power volunteers who show up for civil rights. Listen to the latest episode of our podcast, At Liberty, to learn more about our work defending immigrants' rights alongside our volunteers.

Law enforcement usage of new AI technologies can't come at the price of our civil liberties. 

We've filed more than 100 lawsuits against President Trump’s unconstitutional actions — but we can’t do this without you. The future of civil liberties is on the line. Help us fund the fight of our lifetime to fuel our work year-round by making a donation today at aclu.org/giving-tuesday-25_

While the new version of this law removes some of the most dangerous provisions, we're still worried it will allow companies to censor useful information like sex ed or suicide prevention that can be vital for teens. Safety can't come at the cost of free speech.

The Supreme Court is hearing a case today about New Jersey’s subpoenas seeking sensitive donor information from a nonprofit running crisis pregnancy centers. We urged the court to promptly review the plaintiff’s First Amendment claims. If the government can target one nonprofit, it can target any.

For more than 105 years and through 19 different presidential administrations, our mission has remained unchanged: defend, protect, and expand civil rights and liberties for all people nationwide.

“Some people say, ‘Why bother with the courts? It’s fixed,’ ” she said. “Well, every case is a life, or lives.” The NYCLU is fighting Trump's overreach in the courts, in the legislature, and in the streets - and led by @dlnyclu.bsky.social, we're not slowing down.

The Creatives for Freedom concert benefitting the ACLU was a huge success, thanks to our incredible partners @benandjerrys.bsky.social, Gabriela Hearst, Yola Mezcal, and more.

A federal judge last week blocked ICE from making indiscriminate arrests without a warrant in Colorado, in a case brought by @acluofcolorado.bsky.social.  The Trump administration can't arrest people because of our skin color, accent, or perceived nationality in order to fulfill arrest quotas. 

President Trump wants to silence opposition through fear. These tactics only succeed if we give in — but we'll never stop showing up for our democracy.
