In Tampa, a mother was deported to Cuba two days after ICE detained her at a check-in appointment. They separated her from her 1-year-old U.S.-citizen daughter who was with her and still nursing. Her husband reported the separation was so traumatic that the baby was taken to the hospital.

We reviewed over 1,200 incidents by immigration agents in 2025 across eight states. Here are just some of the most damning findings. 🧵

This first-of-its-kind report documents widespread civil rights violations carried out by immigration agents during the first year of President Trump’s second term. ICE’s nationwide enforcement surge isn’t just forcing families to live in fear, it’s literally killing people.

ACLU@aclu.org · 3w ago

Read our new report, Agents of Chaos and Cruelty, for more about how our findings show the Trump administration's deportation campaign thus far reveals a blueprint for expanding authoritarian rule, with profound consequences for everyone in America.

WHOA indeed. DHS is *not* saying that the officer feared for his life. That is VERY notable in comparison to other shootings.

David J. Bier@davidjbier.bsky.social · 3w ago

WHOA DHS does not say that the agent feared for his life… just the vague concern for “public safety.” So he killed him just because he did not want him in America, not because of any specific threat to agents?

Today, for the second time in a week, ICE officers have killed a driver in the streets and the federal government is again saying the officers were not even wearing body cameras. This is absolutely insane. www.pressherald.com/2026/07/13/s...

BREAKING: Eleventh Circuit, on a 2-1 vote, upholds injunction blocking Florida from enforcing its 2022 Stop WOKE Act in the university context. The majority opinion is from Judge Britt Grant, a Trump appointee: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Today, a federal court permanently blocked Governor DeSantis’ classroom censorship law, the "Stop WOKE Act," from taking effect. The law would've restricted students and educators in Florida from discussing things like race and gender in higher ed classrooms.

Today, the Supreme Court reaffirmed that birthright citizenship remains the law of the land. Here in Florida, we know just how much this ruling matters.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down President Trump’s executive order attempting to overturn birthright citizenship. This historic decision reaffirms that the Constitution — not the president — defines who gets to be a citizen.

this is why i can't do this shit anymore, every time i open this app i see people who are supposed to be journalists describing citizens' Constitutional rights being treated like they're games in a playoff stretch run

The Supreme Court’s ruling letting more than a dozen states keep their post-election grace periods for mail ballots is a defeat for Trump and Republicans ahead of the midterms, but the GOP can still capture significant victories in major election-related cases coming further down the pipeline.

Something big is brewing in Miami. Last year, the city entered a partnership with ICE called a 287(g) agreement to deputize local police for immigration enforcement. A lot can change in a year. The new mayor opposes 287(g), and a new Republican city commissioner says he’d support ending it.

UPDATE: Tennessee Governor Bill Lee issued a 1 year reprieve in the botched execution of Tony Carruthers. As Tony begins healing from the torture he was subjected to today, we’re demanding that Governor Lee test the forensic evidence that was neglected by the state and could prove Tony's innocence.

ACLU@aclu.org · 3mo ago

Tennessee is currently torturing a man who maintains his innocence in the name of justice. The state's executioners are trying to continue the execution, despite being unable to find an IV line for the lethal drugs. The state must stop this barbaric, botched execution NOW.

The First Amendment is the bedrock of this country. The government can’t punish you for protected speech. Government actors will seize on moments of tragedy and fear to impose ideological conformity. And we will push back.

42 Democrats just joined 192 Republicans to reauthorize FISA Section 702 – a warrantless surveillance law that's been used to access Americans' data. Democratic leadership did not whip their members, enabling them to vote with Republicans and give Trump the surveillance powers.

The Supreme Court got it wrong today. Their decision to gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act will leave Black voters and other voters of color even more vulnerable to attacks on our freedom to vote and be represented fairly. Our fight for our democracy is not over.
