Civil rights groups sue to keep DOJ from reviewing state voter lists Civil-rights groups are suing to prevent the Justice Department from collecting and reviewing state registration lists to weed out ineligible voters.

BREAKING: Common Cause and the ACLU are suing to stop the DOJ from abusing sensitive voter information obtained from 12 states, including Wyoming.

Stockpiling Americans’ voter data and creating a national database to surveil and purge voters is a threat to our privacy and voting rights.

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside.”

Wyoming bishop calls on Catholic community to approach immigration with compassion - WyoFile In a letter distributed during Sunday Mass across Wyoming, Bishop Steven Biegler offered the Church's teaching on immigration as a starting place for dialogue.

“We bishops advocate for a meaningful reform of our nation’s immigration laws and procedures. Human dignity and national security are not in conflict. Both are possible if people of good will work together.” wyofile.com/wyoming-bish...

ICE is Rapidly Expanding Dangerous 287(g) Agreements with Local Police The ACLU’s research details the Trump administration’s dangerous expansion of the 287(g) program, making law enforcement and state agencies act as ICE agents.

Our new report, Deputized for Disaster, examines how these dangerous collaborations between local police and ICE endanger our communities.

In Wyoming, 53.7% of the population have a sheriff with a 287(g) agreement, but the statewide agencies that have signed on to do ICE's work for them expand that reach to every corner of our state.

Lawmakers shoot down slate of election bills on day one - WyoFile Six committee-sponsored election bills failed introduction in the Wyoming House. Another died in the Senate.

Good. Wyoming lawmakers have just 20 days to pass a budget this session. What they don't have time for are harmful and unnecessary election bills.

Budget session starts today.

Session doesn't have to be a circus, but it appears the lure of sideshow attractions are taking priority in the minds of our elected leaders. Find the bills we're tracking, actions you can take and advocacy resources here.

Defeat, Delay, Dilute: ACLU Versus President Trump One year ago, President Donald Trump was sworn in for a second term. His administration has created chaos, trampled on our rights, and harmed so many of us. But the ACLU has been fighting back — and winning. Now, we're telling the story of the first year of our fight against the Trump administration’s second term, our lessons learned, and our path forward. We were prepared for this fight from day one. Before President Trump was elected, we examined his campaign promises — including those outlined in Project 2025 — and outlined a plan for how we would fight to protect the rights and liberties of all people. We spent months plotting out our litigation and advocacy strategy across the country, building a plan to ensure that cities and states would be a Firewall for Freedom — a shield defending against a federal government attacking civil rights and civil liberties. Within hours of President Trump's inauguration, it was clear that he and his administration would, once again, test the Constitution and the willingness of our nation’s institutions and people to defend it. But we were ready. The ACLU mobilized our lawyers, advocates, organizers, storytellers, and supporters to delay unconstitutional policies before they took effect, dilute their reach when full blockage wasn’t immediately possible, and defeat them through courts, public pressure, and sustained organizing. In 2025, we took over 230 legal actions against the Trump administration, with remarkable success: 64% of our lawsuits have delayed, diluted, or defeated the Trump administration’s agenda. But despite everything we’ve accomplished so far, we cannot underestimate the continued speed and ferocity of this assault on civil rights and civil liberties or the impact it will continue to have on us all. And as we enter 2026, the stakes feel as high as ever. That’s why the ACLU is releasing a report about the first year of the Trump administration, highlighting key lessons learned and laying out our roadmap for the years to come. You can download the full report here: Defeat, Delay, Dilute: ACLU Versus President Trump What the ACLU does over the next three years and how well we do it will play a role in shaping the course of American history. Because democracy doesn’t defend itself – people do. And together, we will keep showing up.

We’ve defeated, delayed, or diluted President Trump’s attacks on our rights in a majority of the legal actions we’ve taken against him in the past year.

Read our new report detailing the wins we’ve seen and the fight still ahead after President Trump’s first year back in office.

Woke up celebrating today because abortion remains legal in Wyoming. 🥳

This is especially true in the context of voting where the U.S. Constitution prohibits the state from conditioning a benefit, such as exercising one’s right to vote, on the giving up of another right, such as a second citizenship.

Dual citizenship is a status long recognized in our country’s laws. And the government has neither the power to revoke citizenship recognized by another country nor the authority to force a U.S. citizen to renounce any citizenship status.

Gray hopes to revisit what failed in 2025, presents new slate of election reform bills CHEYENNE — After only a few of the proposed 45 election bills made it to the governor’s desk after the 2025 legislative session, many spearheaded by Secretary of State Chuck

Sec. Gray’s new proposal to require all qualified electors in the state to be solely US citizens—requiring dual citizens to have to choose between renouncing one of their citizenships or relinquishing their constitutional right to vote and run for office—is misguided and likely unconstitutional.

Privacy Advocates Worry About “Robot Army” Of Surveillance Cameras In Jackson Critics of the 28 license plate-reading cameras in Jackson say they are the equivalent of robo-cops writing down your license plate number every time you…

A web of license plate-reading cameras are putting residents in Jackson and Cheyenne under constant surveillance.

"Would Wyoming residents like it if there was a police officer literally one on every block or one every mile on the highway writing down your license plate every time you go by?"

Laramie County sheriff’s deputies making more immigration arrests around Wyoming’s largest city - WyoFile Through operation targeting undocumented truck drivers and local arrests, sheriff estimates 70 people in Laramie County have been placed into ICE custody since October.

“We were sold that with this doubling down on immigration enforcement they’d be trying to get the worst of the worst off the street,” the @acluwyoming.bsky.social told @wyofile.com. But so far, it seems the sheriff’s department and its enforcement partners are casting a much wider net.

Undeterred by tight timeline, Wyoming lawmakers charge ahead with election reform - WyoFile County clerks are anxious about changes made in the last session and what’s now coming down the pike.

Don't call it "election integrity." These bills would only throw chaos and confusion into Wyoming elections and create more expenses for our counties, who are already struggling with plummeting property tax revenues. Wyoming elections have proven to be safe and secure. These bills are unnecessary.

"We're fixing a problem we don't have by making it harder for citizens to vote. That's not integrity. That's barriers." —Gail Symons.

And we couldn't agree more.

What the National Guard is not supposed to do:
🔴Police our communities

The idea of military troops going into our neighborhoods, arresting residents, and tearing families apart goes against everything this country is supposed to stand for.
