Mr. Omar, a 77-year-old Palestinian man and 50-year resident of Louisiana, is safe from ICE’s abuse. His attorney worked with us through our Justice Lab: Immigration program and has won repeatedly against ICE.

Read a critical piece from Nora Ahmed, our legal director, on how we can build a just immigration system from the ground up if given the chance. open.substack.com/pub/acluoflo...

Rep. Edmond Jordan during the House floor vote on SB 121, the new racist voting map.

Tomorrow is your last chance to show up and push back against lawmakers’ racist voting map. It’s been weeks of organizing and mobilizing. But we won’t let them do this in silence. #louisiana #votingrights #redistricting #batonrouge

TOMORROW we mobilize at the Capitol again! Louisiana’s racist map from Sen. Jay Morris is heading to the House and now it’s their turn to hear our testimony. We will not stop fighting. #louisiana #votingrights #redistricting #batonrouge

TODAY IS ELECTION DAY! Go vote! Vote NO on all of the amendments to send a message to Jeff Landry! As this racist government tries to overtake our elections and the will of our vote, today is an opportunity to show them that we the people have the real power. #vote #govote #louisiana #neworleans

LINK IN BIO! Want to join our fight to defend protesters? Help us pack the court on Wednesday! Our proposed class action lawsuit defending protesters who were brutalized by police in 2020  in the wake of the murder of George Floyd is finally heading to court. #georgefloyd #protest #louisiana #BLM

We are coming together with voters from across the state to fill the halls of the Capitol in Baton Rouge tomorrow. Lawmakers are meeting in committee to review new racist voting maps in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision to gut the Voting Rights Act. #votingrights #louisiana #callais

FLOOD. THE. POLLS. The May 16 election is still happening and early voting starts TOMORROW. We need to show up in unprecedented numbers. We cannot allow this Supreme Court and authoritarian governor cast us aside. There are five harmful constitutional amendments and we must vote NO ON ALL.

BREAKING: We're suing Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. On the heels of a Supreme Court decision that eviscerated protections for voters of color, elected officials jumped at the chance to disenfranchise people - we won't allow it.

DONATIONS WILL BE MATCHED FOR THE FIRST $10k! It’s that time of year again! GiveNOLA Day early giving begins TODAY! Head to our linktr.ee in bio to find our donation link or find us on givenola.org #givenola #earlygiving #neworleans #givenoladay

HB 211, which criminalizes being homeless, goes to committee tomorrow. We need EVERYONE to go to the link in bio to write to the legislature opposing this bill. If you’re in Baton Rouge you can show up to the committee hearing and submit a red card. This bill is shameful. #louisiana #homeless #nola

Just now, three racist bills passed out of committee in Baton Rouge. The bills, authored by Sen. Jay Morris of Monroe, target the courts in Orleans Parish. Call your representatives and any of the elected officials on relevant to committees. It’s time to make noise. #legesession #louisiana

Some scenes from today’s No Kings rally and march in New Orleans. It was a beautiful day and the crowd came together to voice their resistance against an abusive, violent administration. #nokings #resist #louisiana #neworleans

The next No Kings rally is tomorrow. Join us and make your voice heard. We stand against tyranny, war and the relentless constitutional violations perpetrated by this administration. Lafitte Greenway at N. Prieur and N. Galvez 2:00pm-6:00pm CT #nokings #protest #neworleans #louisiana

ICE is currently deployed at MSY. This should never have happened. Congress needs to fund TSA so that agents can get back to work. The president is holding our public safety hostage because of political negotiations. #ice #MSY #immigration #louisiana #neworleans #ACLU

Today we sent letters to ICE because their detention facilities are violating the right to access to counsel. We are demanding changes be made to remedy these violations. #ice #immigration #louisiana #aclu

(1/3) In 2025, DHS adopted new policies preventing detained people from completing immigration applications for which they qualify. Under these policies, ICE refused to transport detained people to USCIS appointments, and USCIS refused to send representatives to ICE jails.

Today in Selma, Alabama. It was an honor to be here and continue the fight for voting rights. #selma #bloodysunday #votingrights #aclu

We are joining our Alabama friends today and will march alongside them in Selma in commemoration of the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday, the attempted march from Selma to Montgomery where marchers were attacked by state troopers at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge. #selma #bloodysunday

Only Congress has the constitutional power to authorize war. Yet, the Trump administration is once again taking unilateral and reckless military action against Iran, putting both servicemembers and civilians in danger. This is unconstitutional.

Today, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals green lit H.B. 71, Louisiana’s law requiring the Ten Commandments in classrooms. Read our response to this heinous decision. #tencommandments #louisiana #neworleans #aclu

We’ve recently learned that someone in ICE detention was able to secure their own release by using our legal files to write their own habeas petition. If you’re an attorney interested in joining our Justice Lab: Immigration program, email:[email protected]. #immigration #habeas #louisiana

Almost two weeks ago, 37-year-old Harold Brooks died at Angola after an alleged altercation with corrections officers. We are demanding transparency in the ongoing investigation. #angola #louisiana #justice #ACLU

Black History Month begins today. Carter G. Woodson, the founder of Black History Month, believed that telling the truth about Black life wasn’t just about the past—it was about shaping a more just future. #BHM #February #history #BlackHistoryMonth #aclu

The ACLU of Louisiana today announced the beta launch of Justice Lab: Liberating Immigrants from Unlawful Detention. Interested LA attorneys CONTACT: [email protected]

Today, the full Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals heard en banc oral arguments in two consolidated cases challenging state laws requiring public schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom including our Louisiana case, Rev. Roake v. Brumley. #10commandments #fifthcircuit #ACLU

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...

Join us at the Louisiana State Capitol today at 1pm for a rally to raise our voices. Legislators are trying to change election dates to pave the way for new voting maps that will eliminate Black representation. We are watching in Baton Rouge! #votingrights #batonrouge #votingrightsact
