While the court found that geofence warrants are not inherently unconstitutional, they made clear that police do not have unchecked power to rummage through the private location data of anyone who comes within the geofence.

For more than a century, the Supreme Court has affirmed the 14th Amendment right that guarantees children born in the United States are citizens.

The Supreme Court must not cower to the president’s will and upend this national promise.

Today, the Supreme Court heard arguments in our nationwide class action brought by the ACLU and partners on behalf of children who would be denied citizenship under one of President Trump’s executive orders.

By attacking birthright citizenship, President Trump is defying the Constitution again.

"While the world watched, Minnesotans did not waver," ACLU-MN Executive Director Deepinder Mayell told the crowd at No Kings in St. Paul. "Minnesotans did not hesitate. Minnesotans did not capitulate. No. Minnesotans held their ground and showed the world what the words 'We the People' really mean."

You don't need a permit to protest in streets or on sidewalks if you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. You have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including police. If stopped by police, ask if you're free to go. Walk away. If arrested, ask for a lawyers immediately. Do not sign, say, or agree to anything without a lawyer present.

Minnesota Residents Sue Trump Administration for Racial Profiling and Unlawful Arrests ICE and CBP upended life in Minnesota as citizens detail unlawful and violent interactions with ICE in court testimonies as part of ACLU lawsuit against Trump administration.

When a Minneapolis man, a U.S. citizen, asked an ICE agent why he needed to show his documents, the agent said “because of your accent.”

We're fighting ICE's unconstitutional racial profiling in court.

In a February filing, the federal government claimed that, of the agents deployed in Operation Metro Surge, 407 federal agents would remain in Minnesota into March. However, on March 4, the government filed a document that revealed there are still 482 agents in Minnesota.

Federal judge rules ICE agents in Minnesota illegally detained people based on racial profiling On at least 23 occasions, federal agents in Minnesota detained people solely on the basis of their race during Operation Metro Surge. That's according to a federal judge who issued a ruling based on an ongoing lawsuit brought on by the ACLU of Minnesota.

After hearing the brave testimony of Minnesotans who were racially profiled by federal immigration agents, the court found that our clients made a clear showing that the agents were following an unlawful policy to stop and arrest Minnesotans in violation of their rights.

ICE has spun a massive surveillance web. We talked to people caught in it The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE and Border Patrol, is using a broad web of surveillance tools — purchased as its budget has ballooned under this administration — to monitor, apprehend and intimidate the people it seeks to deport and the U.S. citizens critical of its policies.

The Trump administration's mass deportation dragnet has unleashed a new wave of government surveillance across the country.

Here in Minnesota, federal agents continue to surveil, track, and intimidate people for exercising our First Amendment rights.

Sign our petition and demand that your lawmaker vote YES on banning 287(g) agreements when the time comes.

287(g) agreements enlist local law enforcement to work for ICE and are proliferating in Minnesota. This makes our state less safe, less fair, and less free.

ACLU of Minnesota Pushes to End 287(g) Agreements with HF 3413, New Report, Community Organizing - ACLU of Minnesota

A 287(g) agreement is when local law enforcement signs an agreement with ICE. This waste of taxpayer money erodes trust between local law enforcement & the communities they serve.

We're calling for the Legislature to pass HF 3413 to end all 287(g) agreements in Minnesota.
