Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His brilliant leadership and organizing tactics changed our world. And his fight for equity continues to this day. #mlkday #mlk #justice #ACLU

We stand against ICE and the horrific violence and murder its agents have exacted on our communities. Here in Louisiana, we are still working with partner organizations on the ground to help keep families safe. We will never bow down to this terrorism. #ice #renee #louisiana #aclu

Send a message to elected officials in Washington to tell them to END the 287(g) program and stop ICE from exploiting local law enforcement: action.aclu.org/send-message...

Some powerful new words from Alanah Odoms, Executive Director of the ACLU of Louisiana: open.substack.com/pub/acluoflo...

With the AG’s concession in hand, we’ve secured assurance that Act 399 will not target speech or protected first amendment actions. For that reason, we’re happy to announce that we are dismissing our lawsuit without prejudice.

Attorney General Concedes Act 399 Cannot Be Used to Target Speech This morning at 7 am, the AG’s Office filed a response to our client ISLA’s Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order.

Today, we sued Attorney General Liz Murrill for violating our client’s first amendment rights by broadly wielding Act 399 to silence anyone who stands against the government’s cruel and inhumane immigration crackdown. #ice #neworleans #louisiana

(1/2) VICTORY: @nipnlg.bsky.social, @acluoflouisiana.bsky.social, and RFK Human Rights secured the release of 18-year-old Carlos Guerra Leon after his unlawful, months-long detention in a Louisiana ICE facility.

Last night our lawyers sat on the side of the road outside Jackson Correctional Center. A federal judge ordered our client to be released IMMEDIATELY. We drove 4.5 hours to pick him up. The facility refused to release him and ICE did not take action to comply with the federal court order.

ICE deported a man to Laos even after a federal judge ordered him to remain here. apnews.com/article/immi...
