Last week, a federal appeals court sided with Minnesota and left in place a policy allowing transgender students to play sports on teams that align with their gender identity and expression.

While the court found that geofence warrants are not inherently unconstitutional, they made clear that police do not have unchecked power to rummage through the private location data of anyone who comes within the geofence.

Our Constitution dictates that no president unilaterally has the right to change election laws — that's why we're challenging President Trump's undemocratic attacks on mail-in voting. Sign our petition to defend our right to vote. https://ow.ly/tNAR50YK88C

For more than a century, the Supreme Court has affirmed the 14th Amendment right that guarantees children born in the United States are citizens. The Supreme Court must not cower to the president’s will and upend this national promise.

Today, the Supreme Court heard arguments in our nationwide class action brought by the ACLU and partners on behalf of children who would be denied citizenship under one of President Trump’s executive orders. By attacking birthright citizenship, President Trump is defying the Constitution again.

The Constitution defines who gets to be a citizen, not the president.

"While the world watched, Minnesotans did not waver," ACLU-MN Executive Director Deepinder Mayell told the crowd at No Kings in St. Paul. "Minnesotans did not hesitate. Minnesotans did not capitulate. No. Minnesotans held their ground and showed the world what the words 'We the People' really mean."

Before you head out for another No Kings rally, remember your rights as a protester!

When a Minneapolis man, a U.S. citizen, asked an ICE agent why he needed to show his documents, the agent said “because of your accent.” We're fighting ICE's unconstitutional racial profiling in court.

The ACLU of Minnesota supports Rep. Brad Tabke's bill, HF 4205, which will limit the use of data collected from ALPRs which were misused during Operation Metro Surge. https://www.aclu-mn.org/press-releases/alpr-1/

In a February filing, the federal government claimed that, of the agents deployed in Operation Metro Surge, 407 federal agents would remain in Minnesota into March. However, on March 4, the government filed a document that revealed there are still 482 agents in Minnesota.

After hearing the brave testimony of Minnesotans who were racially profiled by federal immigration agents, the court found that our clients made a clear showing that the agents were following an unlawful policy to stop and arrest Minnesotans in violation of their rights. https://ow.ly/ox3G50Yss2E

📢📢 If you've experienced: ⚠️Racial profiling, warrantless stops, or detention from ICE/federal agents ⚠️ Unlawful conduct from ICE/federal agents as an observer or protester We want to hear from you. https://www.aclu-mn.org/ice-feds-form/

The Trump administration's mass deportation dragnet has unleashed a new wave of government surveillance across the country. Here in Minnesota, federal agents continue to surveil, track, and intimidate people for exercising our First Amendment rights. https://ow.ly/YF5o50Yqw42

A recent report from Reuters documented court rulings: ICE illegally detained people more than 4,400 times since October 2025. Tell Congress at aclu.org/stop-ice-attacks_ to hold the line and rein in ICE's abuses now.

"Nearly three weeks after federal officials announced that Operation Metro Surge was over, close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota." https://www.startribune.com/close-to-650-federal-agents-remain-in-minnesota-weeks-after-border-czar-announced-end-of-operation/601590007

Sign our petition and demand that your lawmaker vote YES on banning 287(g) agreements when the time comes. 287(g) agreements enlist local law enforcement to work for ICE and are proliferating in Minnesota. This makes our state less safe, less fair, and less free. https://act.aclu.org/a/mnstop287g

Federal immigration agents are using a facial recognition app called "Mobile Fortify" across the country. https://www.npr.org/2026/03/04/nx-s1-5717031/ice-dhs-immigrants-surveillance-confrontation-deportation-mobile-fortify

For the first time in over a century, families across the U.S. have to fear their children growing up without citizenship in the only home they've ever known. We'll be defending the right of birthright citizenship at the Supreme Court on April 1 in our case Barbara v. Trump.

ICE’s violent lawlessness has no place in our communities. Call your members of Congress now to urge them to block any bill that funds DHS without reining in their abuses.

A 287(g) agreement is when local law enforcement signs an agreement with ICE. This waste of taxpayer money erodes trust between local law enforcement & the communities they serve. We're calling for the Legislature to pass HF 3413 to end all 287(g) agreements in Minnesota. https://ow.ly/rhPs50YoIbU

Reminder: You have the right to record law enforcement in public.

LaLa Zanell is a dedicated force in the fight for trans liberation. Before working at the ACLU, she fought for police reform, advocated for LGBTQ New Yorkers who've experienced violence and defended transgender rights before the White House and Congress.

We're going to the Supreme Court to defend birthright citizenship on April 1st – and we need you there with us. Add your name in support of safeguarding citizenship for all babies born in the U.S., and we'll bring your signature with us to D.C. https://ow.ly/kqhH50Ynjgf

If ICE attempts to enter the premises, ask to see the judicial warrant.

Yesterday, the federal government filed sworn statements in our case Hussen v. Noem. The statements reveal the number of Operation Metro Surge (OMS) agents currently deployed in Minnesota and the number of OMS agents projected to be deployed in our state into March.

Congress must rein in ICE funding and establish accountability measures.

The First Amendment protects your right to record government officials performing their duties in public. This applies to ICE agents, police, FBI, National Guard troops, and any other government officials.

"Among nearly 100 sworn statements filed in federal court on Friday are more than a dozen accounts... in which federal agents deployed to Minnesota singled out protesters, finding the addresses of their homes and showing up there."

We can’t afford to wait as federal agents terrorize us with impunity. Congress must rein in ICE’s lawless abuses now.

On Wednesday, Feb. 4, ACLU-MN Executive Director Deepinder Mayell gave testimony before the House Judiciary Committee in Washington D.C. Deepinder spoke about the impacts of "Operation Metro Surge" on Minnesota and asked Congress to use the power of the purse to rein in escalations in our state.

Minnesotans have been protesting for months: – getting pepper sprayed, assaulted, and killed – to protect the rights of immigrants in Minnesota.

We're on Capitol Hill today with Deepinder Mayell, @aclumn.bsky.social executive director, who is testifying before Congress about ICE's attacks on protesters and observers in Minneapolis, and the grave threat that poses to our free speech. The Trump administration is not above the First Amendment.

The pressure is working, but make no mistake: this "drawdown" would still leave thousands of federal immigration agents on the streets of Minneapolis, around four times the size of the city's current police force. These agents continue to sow chaos, and Congress needs to rein in these agencies now.

BREAKING: We're calling on the U.N. to investigate the Trump administration's violations of human rights in Minnesota. The U.S. government must be held accountable for blatantly defying international law as ICE ignores the freedoms our country is obligated to uphold.

Opposition to ICE's abuses is growing by the day. Whether it's speaking out at the Grammys, joining a peaceful protest, attending a Know Your Rights training, or demanding action from Congress, people across the country are resisting ICE's lawlessness.

We all have a role to play to protect our communities from ICE's brutality. Politicians are feeling the heat from our pressure, and we must keep it up.

The Trump administration has abused the rights of Minnesotans for months. Arresting journalists should alarm everyone. These arrests are a bold escalation of the Trump administration’s quest to target a free press, avoid transparency and shape the truth. www.aclu.org/press-releas...

We're taking ICE and CBP to court on behalf of people like R.C., who was carrying proof of his lawful permanent residence status when immigration agents used unnecessary force and arrested him anyway.

Yesterday, the Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit refused to reinstate a lower court ruling that protects people documenting, recording, and protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) abuses in Minnesota from government retaliation.
