CBP's religious questioning of Muslim Americans at the border is discriminatory and violates the Constitution's promise of religious freedom and equal protection for all people. We'll see them in court. https://t.co/pQ77q7PZSy — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

This morning, the Supreme Court ruled there’s no reason for Texas to deny John Ramirez’s final religious requests before the state puts him to death. This is a victory for religious freedom — but it doesn't change that the death penalty is cruel, inhumane and unconstitutional. — PolitiTweet.org

Our clients don’t lose the right to practice their faith and to be free from religious discrimination simply because they are at the border. We won’t stop fighting to protect religious freedom for all people. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We, @ACLUMN, and @ACLU_SoCal are asking the court to declare this questioning unlawful, to stop CBP from questioning our clients about their religion during future travel, and to require CBP to delete records reflecting information obtained through this unlawful questioning. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Unfortunately, this type of mistreatment and unlawful questioning is not new. It’s part of a broader unconstitutional practice of targeting travelers perceived to be Muslim during inspection at airports and the US border. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

CBP agents violated our clients’ right to religious freedom by asking invasive questions about their faith. Our religious beliefs and practices, or lack thereof, are supposed to be safe from unwarranted government prying and scrutiny. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Imam Kariye is a proud Muslim. But because of this harassment, he feels pressure to hide his religious practice and expression from CBP officers. He leaves his Qur’an at home and no longer wears his religious headdress, known as a kufi, when he travels. https://t.co/3bel5WY63j — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

After a long flight home from a vacation, Abdirahman Aden Kariye, an imam at a mosque in Bloomington, MN, was met at the jet bridge by CBP agents. Over the next several hours, he was detained, searched, and questioned about his religion. https://t.co/2mdYzNh3FL — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

When our clients were returning home to the US, CBP officers detained them and inspected their belongings, including their phones. The officers then asked them deeply personal and intrusive questions like: “What type of Muslim are you?” “How many times a day do you pray?” — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

BREAKING: We just filed a lawsuit challenging CBP’s targeting of Muslim American travelers for invasive questioning about their religious beliefs, practices, and associations. This questioning is fundamentally discriminatory and violates our clients’ constitutional rights. — PolitiTweet.org

The Coast Guard stopped Robert and his crew as part of a drug interdiction program under the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act, a relic of the failed war on drugs. They were imprisoned for nearly a year. The Supreme Court must right this wrong. https://t.co/ptCzzbSuBb — PolitiTweet.org

Our rights shouldn’t depend on our zip code. We’ll keep fighting these cruel attacks on our right to an abortion until everyone can access the abortion care they need, regardless of where they call home. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

As with every abortion restriction, those who already face the most barriers to health care will be hit the hardest, including: - people of color - immigrants - people living in rural areas - people facing financial hardship — PolitiTweet.org

Texas' ban is a preview for what could come for abortion access in Idaho. For more than six months, pregnant Texans have been forced to flee their home state in search of essential health care, while others have been forced to carry pregnancies against their will. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

This cruel ban would award anyone who successfully sues under this law a bounty of $20,000 or more. Since a similar law went into effect in Texas six months ago, the number of abortions in the state has been cut in half. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Idaho's ban allows family members of both parents of the pregnancy — including family members of a rapist if the pregnancy was the result of sexual assault — to bring lawsuits against health care providers who perform an abortion after 6 weeks. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Idaho just became the second state to pass a law deputizing private citizens to enforce an abortion ban as early as 6 weeks. It's unconscionable that Idaho politicians witnessed the devastation of Texas' abortion ban — and decided to inflict the same harm on their constituents. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The EQUAL Act eliminates the sentencing disparity between crack and powder cocaine, including for thousands of people still serving sentences under this unjust law. It is past time for Congress to finally end this racially discriminatory policy. — PolitiTweet.org

When politicians draw unconstitutional maps, they delay the election process and compromise our ability to know the candidates that represent us. We deserve to choose our politicians. https://t.co/YRWafXxd5u — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The end goal of these political attacks on abortion is clear: forcing people to continue pregnancies and have children against their will. We’ll keep fighting until every person can get the care they need, regardless of their zip code or how much money they have. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

This is just one law in a string of attempts by Florida politicians to impose unnecessary obstacles to time-sensitive care and push abortion out of reach. Earlier this month, they made their most extreme move yet when they passed a 15-week abortion ban. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We have been fighting this law in the courts since it was enacted and kept it blocked for most of the last seven years. Now, the court indicated it is ready to let Florida politicians turn back the clock and take away our right to make our own decisions about pregnancy. — PolitiTweet.org
