Abortion is still legal and available in Wisconsin. The Trump regime snuck abortion restrictions into the big billionaire bill, which is now law. However, two independent clinics in Milwaukee County will continue to provide abortion care.

#CriminalJusticeProject fellow @ajkennard.bsky.social intervies Palmyra police chief on plans for potential ICE partnership

Three people have died at Milwaukee County Jail so far this year. Joseph Boivin Gabriel Muniz Jimenez Melvin Goodwin #SayTheirNames These tragic deaths highlight the urgent need for action.

ICYMI: We sued five Wisconsin sheriffs over their practice of holding people in jail at the request of ICE based on administrative warrants that give them no legal authority to do so. www.wpr.org/news/aclu-su...

Palmyra Police Department is set to partner with ICE on a Task Force Model 287(g) program, which directs local law enforcement to make immigration arrests and conduct immigration investigations in the field. Our statement: www.aclu-wi.org/press-releas...

The Brown Berets, a key Part of the Chicano movement of the 1960s, continue to fight war, police brutality, and worker exploitation. La lucha sigue.

We believe county sheriffs in Wisconsin are legally prohibited from holding individuals on administrative detainers for ICE, so we're suing to challenge the practice. We'll use every tool at our disposal to defend the rights of immigrants. www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

The Trump regime wants to tell your children, our future, what they can or cannot study. We won't let them. www.jsonline.com/story/news/e...

The Trump regime has deployed the National Guard to Washington DC and is threatening to send them to even more cities. This represents another gross abuse of power that we all must reject. Read more here: www.aclu-wi.org/news/liberty...

We will be hosting virtual book clubs throughout Banned Books Week to discuss some of our favorites. 📚 Join us: action.aclu.org/event/2025-b...

At least four Wisconsin sheriffs' departments — Brown, Dodge, Douglas, and Sauk County — are paid jailers for the deportation machine. Being undocumented is not a crime, yet we're seeing families split apart and frequent violations of due process rights. www.aclu-wi.org/press-releas...

This week we released Keep Families Together: five bills that would help protect people in Wisconsin from the Trump Administration's escalating acts of intimidation and violence. Read more here: wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/08/28/w...

A government that can disappear your immigrant neighbor today can disappear you tomorrow. The “Keep Families Together” bill package led by @ryanclancywi.bsky.social and @darrinmadison.bsky.social is a direct response to authoritarian-style abuse. www.aclu-wi.org/news/the-kee...

Yesterday's Supreme Court decision endangers our communities and subjects people to immigration stops simply because of the color of their skin, occupation, or the language they speak. This fight isn't over. Our right to live free from racial profiling is fundamental.

We’ve watched this regime send troops and armed federal agents into American cities before—and now Milwaukee could be next. Wisconsin will not bow to occupation. Milwaukee County residents—send a message to your elected officials now: secure.ngpvan.com/OOaZ4wzu1kG-...

Save the date! Our hybrid annual meeting will take place on Thursday, October 16 at 6pm. action.aclu.org/event/aclu-w...

President Trump deployed military troops and federal agents to DC and LA to respond to made-up emergencies, and is now threatening to do the same in other cities across the country.

MPD is considering a troubling proposal: trading 2.5 million images and data of Milwaukee residents with a private “big data” company, Biometrica, in exchange for facial recognition licenses. jsonline.com/story/opinion/2025/08/22/milwaukee-police-privacy-facial-recognition-technology/85716556007/

It's long past time that the Wisconsin constitution reflected equality in marriage. Regardless of what SCOTUS decides, Fair Wisconsin will keep fighting to defend marriage equality just like we have for decades. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sup...

New investigation from @IsiahHolmes.bsky.social analyzes Wisconsin cops' use of massive license-plate reading network. “Once this level of surveillance is normalized, it becomes incredibly hard to roll back,” @acluofwi.bsky.social policy analyst says.

ACLU report details how Wisconsin sheriffs turned county jails into profit hubs for ICE deportation Ⓜ mkeind.com/41kEviN

🚨NEW: Local jails & police departments are playing a key role in Trump’s mass arrest & deportation agenda The actual scope of this collaboration – and the true scale of immigrant arrests and detentions – has not been publicly available, until now 🧵

ACLU report shows growth of Wisconsin immigration enforcement. @isiahholmes.bsky.social has details on the findings. buff.ly/vcrh0b3

More Wisconsin counties are agreeing to hold ICE detainees in their jails - and they’re getting paid to do it. To find out why @acluofwi.bsky.social is sounding the alarm, @fayeparks.bsky.social sat down with senior staff attorney Tim Muth. www.wortfm.org/aclu-of-wisc...

Homelessness is not a crime.

The Milwaukee Equal Rights Commission unanimously passed a resolution opposing the implementation of facial recognition technology by the Milwaukee Police Department.

BREAKING: Open records requests have revealed that at least three Wisconsin county sheriffs, in Ozaukee, Brown, and Sauk counties, have made recent deals with ICE to house and transport detained immigrants, increasing detention space for Trump's deportation initiatives.

Wisconsin needs to end crimeless revocation, expand community-based alternatives to incarceration, and fulfill its long-overdue promise to close inhumane prisons. wisconsinwatch.org/2025/07/wisc...

Public pushes DOC to apply law, reduce the number of people returned to Wisconsin prisons. Criminal Justice Project Fellow Frank Zufall reports.

Surveillance technology is expanding in Milwaukee — without transparency, oversight, or public accountability. Help us protect our privacy from the police. Get involved at www.aclu-wi.org/en/events/ca...

Facial recognition technology is already in use in some Milwaukee-area jurisdictions. Now, Milwaukee City and County law enforcement are considering implementing the technology too. www.wuwm.com/government-p...

We won't mince words: SCOTUS issued some devastating decisions this term. From digital censorship to gender-affirming care bans, here's some key takeaways from cases impacting civil rights and liberties. aclu-wi.org/en/news/takeaways-supreme-courts-term

MILWAUKEE! Join the ACLU of Wisconsin for a community issue briefing and testimony training on the growing use of surveillance technologies like facial recognition by law enforcement. Register: secure.ngpvan.com/VjkBxcnYZ0-S...

Numerous courts in other states have ruled that questioning students without reading their Miranda rights violates due process protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. It is time that the Wisconsin Supreme Court does the same. www.aclu-wi.org/en/press-rel...

BREAKING: Congress just gave final approval on a budget bill that guts Medicaid, defunds Planned Parenthood, and supercharges funding for ICE. We the people will bear the brunt of these harmful policies — and we won’t forget who caused this devastation to our health, rights, and dignity.

BREAKING: The Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down the state's abortion ban from 1849. This is a win for abortion rights.

GOOD NEWS: In a victory for reproductive freedom, the Wisconsin Supreme Court issued a 4-3 ruling declaring the state's abortion ban to be unenforceable. Wisconsinites no longer have to fear the archaic 1849 ban could go back into effect. www.aclu-wi.org/en/press-rel...

Under the ruling, the birthright citizenship order remains blocked nationwide for at least 30 days. We will use every tool at our disposal to prevent any child from being denied citizenship under this unconstitutional policy.

Facial recognition technology stirs more controversy in Milwaukee. @IsiahHolmes.bsky.social reports on civil liberties' groups warnings.

Reminder: Our elected officials work for us.

Immigrants are our families, coworkers, friends, and neighbors. We will continue to fight for them and their rights in Wisconsin.

The Milwaukee Police Department and the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office are each considering contracts to share millions of booking photos and data in exchange for "free" facial recognition licenses. Milwaukee must reject any partnership that sells out our privacy for profit.

Trans students, like all students, deserve a school where they know they belong.

Happy Juneteenth! As we commemorate emancipation and honor the revolutionary role of Black people in securing their own liberation, we must also think about the progress we still have to make.

A message to the trans kids of Wisconsin: we love you and we will always fight for you; thank you for being you. Today’s SCOTUS decision in US v Skrmetti does not change anything in Wisconsin or in any state where youth trans health care is not already banned. (1/3)

Tomorrow!
