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.

The government cannot stop you from informing others about their legal rights.
Know your rights when educating your community.
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
“Congress should not hand the Trump administration the authority to threaten, intimidate, and coerce local governments across the country — doing so would set a dangerous precedent.”

NEW: Immigrants' rights orgs send letter to Trump admin demanding access to and information re: immigrants detained at Guantánamo.
“It is unlawful for our government to use Guantánamo as a legal black hole, yet that is exactly what the Trump administration is doing.”

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.
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.
Carlota's journey is a powerful story to combat the toxic, vile, and xenophobic narratives around the people that make the best of our country

New year, new platform, same ACLU.
We’ve got a busy year ahead of us — and we’re ready.
Better late than never I suppose?
