BREAKING: We’re calling for the dismantling of the Department of Homeland Security.
Nearly 20 years of abuse, waste, and corruption demonstrate the failure of the DHS experiment.

Many knew DHS to be an ineffective superagency, but President Trump has converted DHS into our government’s most notable badge of shame.
Dismantling DHS, breaking it apart into various federal agencies, and shrinking its federal budget will allow for more effective oversight, accountability and public transparency.

Probation and parole are often promoted as alternatives to incarceration that help formerly incarcerated people successfully re-enter society get back on their feet.

However, despite being seen as acts of leniency, parole and probation are both harsh and punitive.
Today we published a new report with @HRW. It found that in reality, probation and parole drive high numbers of people right back to jail or prison, while in many cases failing to help them get the services and resources necessary to re enter society. aclu.org/report/aclu-an…
In our analysis, people — disproportionately Black and Brown — were incarcerated for violating the rules of supervision or for low-level crimes, and receive disproportionate punishment following proceedings that fail to adequately protect fair trial rights hrw.org/news/2020/07/3…

BREAKING: The @ACLU_OR is taking federal authorities in Portland, Oregon, to court.

This is a fight to save our democracy. These federal agents must be stopped and removed from the city.
Federal agents are terrorizing the community, threatening lives, and relentlessly attacking protesters demonstrating against police brutality.

This is not law and order. This is lawlessness — and it must be stopped.
The lawsuit — the first of multiple to be filed against the Trump administration in Portland — seeks to block DHS and other agencies from attacking journalists and legal observers at protests.

We're bringing the full power of the ACLU to bear until this lawless policing ends.
