BREAKING: Court orders DHS to immediately STOP deploying tear gas, smoke grenades, pepper balls, & other toxic chemicals flooding Portland homes, finding residents face *irreparable* harm.
This is a critical win for our clients, who've suffered from unconstitutional government violence for months.
If Trump is serious about ending Noem’s tenure, DHS should immediately reverse her decisions to:
**put ICE in schools, hospitals, and houses of worship
**make it harder for people fleeing autocratic nations to seek asylum
**deprive people of due process
Until then, we will still be in court.
BREAKING: In our case challenging the Trump-Vance administration’s cuts to FEMA, a federal court has ordered discovery, including a deposition of Kristi Noem. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. @democracyforward.org
More dysfunction from the Trump-Vance administration today. And now, we have been granted permission to depose Secretary Kristi Noem and other officials. The truth will come out.
Said it before. Will say it again. Courage is the new currency. I’m proud of the firms that pushed back, including my former firms, WilmerHale and Covington. As a mentor who has since passed away once told me, “sometimes you have to get in there and be a lawyer.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/u...
Today’s ruling makes it clear that Sec. Noem cannot silence elected officials who are doing their jobs.
The court once again affirmed that oversight is not optional, transparency is not negotiable, and human rights do not disappear at the doors of a detention center.
NEWS: We're suing to block the Justice Dept from eviscerating noncitizens’ right to appeal decisions in their immigration cases with its new rule.
Despite what the Trump-Vance admin may think, everyone – regardless of citizenship status – has the right to due process. We will prove it in court.
In our case, a federal judge just confirmed that the Trump-Vance admin violated the law by mishandling the addresses of more than 40,000 U.S. taxpayers by sharing with ICE.
We will keep fighting to stop the IRS from putting sensitive data at risk.
The real state of the union is chaos and crisis.
Donald Trump has broken every promise he made to the American people.
Together with partners like Skye Perryman at Democracy Forward, we’re fighting on behalf of working families to hold the GOP accountable.
Courts continue to find that this administration’s attempts to target DEI initiatives are unconstitutional, including the recent case we won protecting America's public schools.
Our nation is in crisis, but We the People are strong. The state of the union is up to all of us.
Democracy in the United States is in crisis. But the story of this moment is not only one of crisis. It is also one of courage.
Ahead of President Trump’s State of the Union address tonight, we released our new report ⬇️
democracyforward.org/work/researc...
We're back in court seeking an emergency order to stop unlawful ICE activity at and around Minnesota public schools.
The presence of armed, masked agents patrolling near schools and bus stops is devastating attendance, draining school resources, and traumatizing children.
The Trump-Vance administration is separating children seeking asylum from their approved family sponsors and throwing them back into detention.
We’re suing to end the admin’s unlawful newest form of family separation and protect the rights of immigrant children.
The legal resistance is working. We will continue the fight to protect American history and science at all national parks sites.
BREAKING: SCOTUS rightly rejects President Trump’s attempt to establish tariffs far beyond congressional limitations in Learning Resources. Inc. v. Trump.
No president or administration can ignore the Constitution.
We’re suing to stop the Trump-Vance administration from erasing history and science at national parks across the country.
Censoring “America’s largest classroom” cannot erase this country's truths. We will fight in court to ensure everyone can learn about the real American experience.
Jordan Klepper shared a message of hope and perseverance with all of us at Together for Democracy 2026.
Courage, community, and kindness are the antidotes to the Trump-Vance admin’s cruelty and apathy.
Tonight’s ruling is an important win for every single person in this county because it concerns our ability to access legal counsel.
The court is clear: the Trump-Vance admin’s overreaching and inhumane approach to immigration enforcement is unlawful and violates basic constitutional rights.
WIN: Court calls out the Trump-Vance admin for its "vague word salad" explanation for dismantling the Dept. of Education and issued a rare order forcing the govt to hand over ALL records to justify its mass firing decision.
This is a critical step in our case to protect public education in the U.S.
At Together For Democracy 2026, we brought together the people shaping our democracy to connect, create, and chart the path forward for our country.
A better future can’t be won alone. We must do it together.
BREAKING: We secured another court order blocking the Trump-Vance admin’s unlawful immigration raids at houses of worship.
This ruling restores essential safeguards to religious freedom, and protects people of faith from ICE intrusion.
BREAKING: We won a court order requiring DHS to immediately restore meaningful access to lawyers for people detained at immigration detention centers in Minneapolis.
Access to a lawyer is not optional; it is a fundamental right. We will keep fighting to defend it.
We now know that DOGE may have stood for “Dept. of Gutting Elections.” I joined Rep. Larson and our clients on Capitol Hill to expose the Trump-Vance admin's abuse of Social Security data to potentially undermine our free and fair elections. We'll continue fighting these autocratic threats in court.

It’s never been about immigration enforcement – it’s about pushing a cruel, inhumane agenda that doesn’t make anyone safer. The data says it all.

Another Friday night at @democracyforward.org
“You get all the liars in the same room, and you start hearing different stories.” -@skyeperryman.bsky.social reacts to President Trump, National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s obvious attempt to cover up the admin's accelerating attacks on our elections.
Every single one of us has a part to play in the fight for democracy — and we’re just getting started.
