The forced hysterectomies of immigrants is violent, grotesque, and clearly unconstitutional. Once again, ICE reminds us that it has total disregard for the health, safety, and dignity of detained people.
Forced and coerced sterilizations have a long and shameful history in this country that continue to this day.
We stand with all those fighting to end these abusive practices.

This detention center, Irwin, is run by for-profit provider LaSalle. We investigated the money-making machinery of ICE detention and the misery it causes earlier this year.

It has to end.

BREAKING: We’re representing the NRA at the Supreme Court in their case against New York’s Department of Financial Services for abusing its regulatory power to violate the NRA’s First Amendment rights.

The government can’t blacklist an advocacy group because of its viewpoint.
We don’t support the NRA's mission or its viewpoints on gun rights, and we don’t agree with their goals, strategies, or tactics.

But we both know that government officials can't punish organizations because they disapprove of their views. nytimes.com/2023/12/09/us/…
If the Supreme Court doesn’t intervene, it will create a dangerous playbook for state regulatory agencies across the country to blacklist or punish any viewpoint-based organizations — from abortion rights groups to environmental groups or even ACLU affiliates.

BREAKING: We're suing Tennessee for their “aggravated prostitution” statute that targets people with HIV with harsh punishment and lifetime sex offender registration.

This law is unconstitutional and disproportionately affects Black and transgender women.
The law elevates engaging in sex work from a misdemeanor to a felony based on someone's HIV status – a protected disability.
People who are convicted must register as violent sex offenders for the rest of their lives, restricting their access to housing, employment, and social services.

Three years ago today, the murder of George Floyd in broad daylight by a Minneapolis police officer sparked the largest protests against police brutality in U.S. history.

George Floyd should still be alive.
George Floyd's murder demonstrated what we've known for too long: The policing institutions in our country are deeply entrenched in racism and violence.

We cannot allow it to continue.
Since June 2020, many cities and states have passed important but modest reforms, strengthening oversight of police departments and banning chokeholds and no-knock warrants.

BREAKING: We’re asking a federal court to block two provisions of an anti-voter law in Georgia that make it harder for people with disabilities to vote.
As it is now, the law makes it a felony for friends, neighbors, or staff who work in shelters or nursing homes to help people receive or return an absentee ballot, even if the person has a disability.
The law also requires counties to move ballot drop boxes indoors and limits their hours.

For people with mobility disabilities, this made turning in their ballot an arduous and painful ordeal — and for some it makes voting inaccessible altogether.

This term, the Supreme Court is evaluating the constitutionality of the Indian Child Welfare Act in Brackeen v. Haaland.

If IWCA is overturned, the future of Indigenous tribes is at risk.
aclu.org/news/racial-ju…
ICWA was passed in 1978 to protect Indigenous children from being removed from their families and communities, at a time when around 90% of Indigenous children were taken and raised outside of their tribes.
The Indian Child Welfare Act legally reaffirms tribal sovereignty, which is the right of tribes to make and be governed by their own laws.

It's embedded in hundreds of treaties, the U.S. Constitution, federal legislation, and Supreme Court decisions going back over 200 years.

Today, North Carolina, Nebraska, and South Carolina legislators are moving to advance state abortion bans that would restrict our access to life-saving care.

We're showing up to speak out against them. ⬇️ 19thnews.org/2023/05/aborti…
Nebraska lawmakers are pushing a bill that would ban abortion past 12 weeks AND gender-affirming care for trans youth.

Politicians shouldn’t be getting between us and our health care — and we’re reminding them of that.
In North Carolina, the Senate is also voting on a 12 week abortion ban, and it’s incredibly unpopular with the majority of people in state.

Join us at 3:30 PM ET TODAY at the NC General Assembly to make your voice heard.
