With the Trump administration’s promised mass deportation agenda underway, it is more important than ever to know your rights when engaging with ICE.

I teamed up with ACLU to break down exactly what you should know + remind others of as well.

BREAKING: In a new filing, we're demanding answers about whether the Trump administration defied a court order barring it from deporting immigrants under the Alien Enemies Act.

The public deserves answers about President Trump’s actions.

Strong statement from ACLU on the detention of Mahmoud Khalil:

"The federal government is claiming the authority to deport people with deep ties to the US and revoke their green cards for advocating positions that the government opposes."

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the House hearing on sanctuary cities:

"If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe."

Mic drop!

Scapegoating immigrant communities will never make anyone safer.

Trans people have always been here — and we aren’t going anywhere.

This is quite a kicker in Thomas Edsall’s latest op-ed.

Trump administration halts support for representing unaccompanied children in immigration court The Trump administration has stopped support for legal representation in immigration court for children who enter the United States alone, a setback for those fighting deportation who can’t afford a l...

Let's be clear: No child should ever represent themselves in immigration court. It is cruel and inhumane.

We stand in solidarity with all our partners around the country who received these orders and continue to fight for the rights of immigrant children, families, and communities

Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services v. Kristi Noem | American Civil Liberties Union

NEW: The @aclu.org, and a group of immigrant rights groups including @raicestexas.bsky.social, @lasamericasiac.bsky.social & @florenceproject.bsky.social have sued the Trump administration over it's executive action suspending asylum at the U.S. southern border. Lawsuit: www.aclu.org/cases/refuge...

BREAKING: We're suing President Trump over his attempt to shut down asylum.

No president has the authority to override the protections Congress has granted to people seeking safety at the border.

Trump Administration Revokes Protections for Venezuelans in the U.S. The decision to revoke Temporary Protected Status signals that President Trump will continue to dismantle a program that aims to protect migrants from potentially dangerous countries.

The Trump administration has taken its anti-immigrant agenda one step further by revoking Temporary Protected Status for people from Venezuela.

This move could harm more than 300,000 Venezuelans who received TPS in 2023, leaving them vulnerable to potential deportation in the coming months.

Good.

BREAKING: The House passed a bill requiring the government to detain immigrants if they’ve ever been arrested or charged for theft, even if they've never been convicted.

This could put thousands of people in detention without due process all while lining the pockets of private prisons.

ACLU starts "immigrants' voices" campaign amid Trump deportation threats The video spots will run on digital sites in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.
