ICE and CBP agents are out of control and put everyone in danger.
We're calling for ICE agents to withdraw from Minneapolis, and for Congress to rein in ICE’s abuses in our communities.

An ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. This news is devastating. ICE must immediately withdraw its 2,000 agents from Minnesota and Congress must block any new funding to immigration enforcement.

Resisting the Trump agenda leaves no room for despair
There is plenty of reason for dismay at the Trump administration's actions over the past year, writes Carol Rose, the executive director of the ACLU of Massachusetts. But we have also seen an unprecedented mobilization of civil society. "Turns out, true patriots don't like dictators," Rose writes.
