President Trump’s illegal war of aggression against Iran, in cooperation with Israel, actively undermines global security, raises the long-term danger of nuclear proliferation, and risks dragging the US into another dangerous and protracted conflict. Read UCS’s statement: act.ucsusa.org/3N9e4ZE

A social media graphic shows four people standing on a hill overlooking a densely built city partially covered in smoke or haze. Below the photo, on a black background, a large quote reads: “This illegal war will not bring safety or security to the American people or its allies. Congress must exercise its responsibilities to rein in President Trump and his administration.” Beneath the quote is a small headshot of Tara Drozdenko, identified as Director of the Global Security Program, along with the Union of Concerned Scientists logo and a 2026 copyright notice.

A 2024 Justice Department report found a clear pattern of civil rights violations within the Memphis Police Department. The Trump administration let them off the hook — but we won't. Now, with armed and masked federal agents working with Memphis police, transparency is more important than ever.

BREAKING: We're suing the Memphis Police Department for refusing to comply with our public records request that would tell us whether misconduct continues to happen on their watch. The public deserves to know if the police are violating our constitutional rights.

We have the right to record ICE agents and other government officials at work in public. Use these tips to document agents’ actions. Read up on your rights and understand the risks at aclu.org/kyr_record-

"Tips for recording federal agents from ACLU organizers. Capture relevant details including agents’ names, badge numbers, documents, and any weapons they’re carrying. Capture context like the surrounding area. Record continuous video to capture the full sequence of events. Copy your photos or videos to other devices so they can’t be lost or deleted. Don’t delete the originals. Try to share your documentation with the impacted individual’s loved ones, their attorney, or local organizations working with impacted community members." Arrow pointing right."Tips to protect your digital privacy from ACLU legal experts. Turn off all biometric functions to unlock your phone, including fingerprint and face recognition. Ensure your phone has a strong password. Keep your phone in airplane mode when you don’t need to communicate with others. Turn off location services unless you’re actively using an app that needs access to your location. Communicate with others using secure, encrypted messaging apps."

The DoD now has more money than it knows what to do with. Imagine if we spent that money on healthcare or housing instead. "A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.” -MLK

Federal agents are still patrolling Minneapolis and posing a threat to our constitutional rights. We're continuing to fight in court to end DHS’ unlawful actions in Minnesota and to get relief for the people who have been victims of their lawlessness.
