The Trump administration finally admits what everyone knew on day one: There is no way to defend these unconstitutional executive orders.
This shameful assault on the rule of law has failed thanks to the brave lawyers who refused to compromise their integrity.
While others capitulated, these law firms held the line for the rule of law and won. There's a crucial lesson for institutions here: anticipatory compliance is not a winning strategy. It only encourages further lawlessness. Do not comply. Stand up and speak out.

White text: "Over 4,400. The number of times federal courts have found that ICE illegally detained people since October 2025." Red ACLU logo. Tinted red photo of immigration and law enforcement in helmets.
A report by Reuters found that courts ruled ICE illegally jailed people more than 4,400 times. The Trump administration's unlawful, anti-immigrant rampage must be checked.
Tell Congress at aclu.org/stop_ice_attacks- to hold the line and rein in ICE's abuses now.
🎭 Thanks to Abbie Tykocki, Laurie and I got to see Riverwalk's production of Jesus Christ Superstar this weekend (after a jaunt over to Lansing Shuffle). It was excellent! Looks like there are still a few tickets available March 5-8. Grab 'em before they sell out!

⚡ Sneak peek! Earlier this week, CATA took delivery of a New Flyer battery-electric bus. An important step toward reaching our goal of transitioning to a zero-emission fleet by 2035. Back in November, a similar battery-electric bus manufactured by Gillig entered service.

DHS is only now admitting that one of their agents shot and killed 23-year-old Ruben Ray Martinez, a U.S. citizen, last March.
Another day, another DHS lie exposed. Congress must rein in this abusive, lawless agency.

"Tips for recording federal agents from ACLU organizers. Capture relevant details including agents’ names, badge numbers, documents, and any weapons they’re carrying. Capture context like the surrounding area. Record continuous video to capture the full sequence of events. Copy your photos or videos to other devices so they can’t be lost or deleted. Don’t delete the originals. Try to share your documentation with the impacted individual’s loved ones, their attorney, or local organizations working with impacted community members." Arrow pointing right.
"Tips to protect your digital privacy from ACLU legal experts. Turn off all biometric functions to unlock your phone, including fingerprint and face recognition. Ensure your phone has a strong password. Keep your phone in airplane mode when you don’t need to communicate with others. Turn off location services unless you’re actively using an app that needs access to your location. Communicate with others using secure, encrypted messaging apps."
We have the right to record ICE agents and other government officials at work in public.
Use these tips to document agents’ actions.

As we enter tonight's State of the Union address, our nation is at a crossroads. Federal agents are acting like a secret police force and wreaking havoc on our communities and our rights.
But we the people are holding the line and making it clear: This country belongs to us.
We're taking to the streets from coast to coast on March 28 to show our collective power and demand an end to the Trump administration's abuse of power.
Over 1,000 protests are already planned nationwide — and more are being added by the day. Join us.

President Trump’s intimidation tactics aren’t working.
From protecting immigrants’ rights to free speech, trans rights, and more, our clients are fearlessly taking the administration head-on in courts across the country.
When the Department of Education issued vague threats to defund schools that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, we sued and now they're backing down.
This is a win for students' right to a full and honest education.
Our constitutional rights haven't changed.
Despite what ICE may claim, we all have the right to record and document ICE activities in public. We're suing.

Federal agents are still patrolling Minneapolis and posing a threat to our constitutional rights.
We're continuing to fight in court to end DHS’ unlawful actions in Minnesota and to get relief for the people who have been victims of their lawlessness.
