Immigration detention is cruel, inhumane, and unnecessary. We are ready to push back against any elected official who illegally collaborates with ICE.

At a time when radical and reactionary anti-immigration elected officials assume that they can act with impunity to implement a chaotic and cruel agenda targeting immigrants across the U.S., it’s critical to send a message that nobody is above the law. The Bucks County Sheriff is no exception.

Just a reminder to any Pennsylvania counties that are considering cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement's abhorrent deportation campaign: Working with ICE can incur serious legal liabilities and waste millions in taxpayer dollars. Think twice before cooperating with ICE.

Today marks the beginning of one of ACLU-PA's biggest lawsuits in years. We are suing the commonwealth to ensure that every public defender has the resources and support to provide vigorous defense for their clients. Pennsylvania ranks almost dead last in providing funding. We can & must do better.

“His death was certainly a preventable tragedy.” Conditions at the Moshannon immigration detention center are abhorrent and have led ACLU-PA to file multiple federal complaints. Immigration detention is unnecessary and cruel.

Dylan Lopez Contreras is in the U.S. legally. He works to support his family and attends school. He has no criminal record. Dylan's arrest and detention by ICE are appalling. So we're joining the New York Legal Assistance Group and suing to win his release. www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025...

Last weekend, ACLU-PA helped organize two buses to DC so that TLGBQIA+ activists and community members from Pittsburgh and Philly could attend ACLU's Freedom To Be rally on the National Mall to kick off Pride Month. Everyone deserves the freedom to be their full, authentic selves.

"For decades, PA ignored public defense to its detriment. The costs of this neglect have resulted in immeasurable human and financial costs. But with continuous, substantial investments in public defense, the legislature can begin to undo this damage."

If the Bucks County Sheriff proceeds with its illegal implementation of a so-called 287g agreement with ICE, Bucks County taxpayers will be on the hook for litigation costs and any liability that the agreement incurs.
