BREAKING: The Kentucky legislature just passed a bill that will ban abortion across the state.

We are representing the last remaining clinic in the state and suing IMMEDIATELY to stop this ban from going into effect.
This latest attack is in addition to the ban Kentucky passed last night that allows legislators to veto a person’s decision to have an abortion based on the reason they might need one.

We are going to court to stop BOTH bans.
Kentucky banning abortion is blatantly unconstitutional.

We‘ll be in court to stop this law before it starts. aclu.org/blog/reproduct…

Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russia investigation MUST be made public.

Elected officials work for the people. We have a right to know if President Trump and his associates coordinated with Russia to interfere in our elections.
If the Department of Justice doesn't make the Mueller report public, Congress should use its subpoena powers to ensure the truth sees the light of day.
Here is our full statement calling for the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Russian investigation:

In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court reversed a decision in our case challenging the federal government’s sweeping interpretation of a 1996 mandatory detention law for immigrants.

That interpretation has resulted in gross violations of due process for thousands.
For two terms in a row now, SCOTUS has endorsed the most extreme interpretation of immigration detention statutes, allowing mass incarceration of people without any hearing, simply because they are fighting a deportation charge.
We will always fight the gross overuse of detention in the immigration system.

First the Trump administration stranded asylum seekers in Mexico while their cases go forward here.

Then it messed up the court schedule, so two people missed hearings.

Now @ICEgov is saying they should be deported.
sandiegouniontribune.com/news/immigrati…
TO BE CLEAR: @ICEgov knew an asylum seeker was stuck at the US port of entry, not being let in, after learning at the last minute that the government was holding a hearing in her case. ICE tried to take advantage of that to get her deported.

Seeking asylum is not a game.
This mess is one reason we sued to stop the illegal policy of stranding asylum seekers in Mexico. This logistical disaster was entirely predictable.

We cannot allow the Trump administration to sabotage people's asylum claims.

We will see the government in court on 3/22.

Last night I promised a thread about #abortion before Roe v Wade legalized it nationally. Until the mid-1800s, common law allowed abortion until "quickening", when fetal movement can be felt. Toxic abortion remedies & doctors competing w midwives led to… 1/
laws outlawing abortion except where pregnancy was likely to be fatal spreading across the country. Bottled abortion remedies could be and were fatal, and doctors, almost all white and male, didn't want midwives competing with them for pregnancy care. 2/
"In the late 1920s some 15,000 women a year died from [illegal] abortions…In 1971, the year after decriminalization, the maternal-mortality rate in New York State dropped 45%." 3/
