Friends, I have some big news. After 20 wonderful years at the @ACLU, today is my last day. I have so much love for this organization. I started at the @NYCLU in 2003, fighting against USA PATRIOT Act, Guantanamo Bay & NYPD's surveillance of Muslim, Arab & South Asian residents🧵

@USBPChief @ArtAcevedo Thank you for the clarification. What about ICE? The concern is related to the fact that the administration rescinded the previous memo that stated that such locations would not see immigration raids.

Some NJ lawmakers are trying to prevent undocumented kids from enrolling in our public schools. Not only is this unconstitutional, but it's immoral. Regardless of your views on immigration, kids should not be punished for the behavior of their parents

In other news, the United States has moved up on the list of biggest incarcerators in the world, now in the #5 slot between Turkmenistan and American Samoa. The US was #1 during the height of mass incarceration, but then dropped to #6. It's now #5.

Important letter from Congress Members @jamie_raskin and @PramilaJayapal requesting a list of each incident where a U.S. citizen was detained during immigration enforcement activities since January 20, 2025 including total number of US citizens detained

Can't wait for Trump to realize that it's the US Department of Education that enforces Title IX (and Title VI).

The outrageousness is only beginning. Trump administration finalizing plans to shutter Education Department, which it can't do without an act of Congress.

I saw Here There Are Blueberries at @mccarter theater yesterday, and I can't stop thinking about it. It brings to life so many uncomfortable truths that we are still grappling with today. It lifts the mask behind the executioner. If you have an opportunity 2 see it, please do so

Israel's Justice Minister refuses to to sign official announcement of new Supreme Court president. And for the first time in Israeli history, the prime minister will not attend the swearing-in of a chief justice. Constitutional crisis brewing

RT @NazgolG: Federal prison population changes under recent presidents, approximate: Reagan: +105% (from 25K➡️51K people) Bush, HW: +58%…

Andrea, I totally agree and wish more people would recognize this. This reminds of the George W. Bush era declaration of a war on terror to justify extraordinary executive powers, including warrantless surveillance, sidestepping congressional laws banning torture, detaining US citizens without charges as enemy combatants, flouting both domestic laws such as FISA and international laws like the Geneva Conventions and more, all under the theory that as commander in chief, the president can essentially do anything. This feels like the beginning of that but even potentially worse.

Netanyahu's Justice Minister is refusing to recognize the new Chief Justice of the Israeli Supreme Court, setting the stage for another constitutional standoff between the executive and the courts.

Very important account of the attacks on the judiciary that we are seeing in Israel, similar to the attacks in the US, stacking the courts with lawyers guided by politics rather than with lawyers guided by the rule of law

RT @YehudaShaul: [1] Israeli courts are becoming even more hostile to Palestinians. See @oritstrock bragging about her success in stacking…

Prison company CoreCivic gave $$ to Trump inaugural committee, banking on ICE raids to bolster its bottom line. CoreCivic also employs Trump allies to represent the company on issues relating to private prisons and immigration detention facilities
