President Biden is right to call on Congress to pass federal voting rights legislation — protecting our democracy couldn't be more urgent. The Senate must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and clear the way for it to be signed into law. https://t.co/5kBuOggUlq — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Guantanamo Bay is where due process goes to die. On the 20th anniversary of the first detainees arriving at Guantanamo, we’re demanding President Biden close Guantanamo once and for all. https://t.co/bvKD9TgJso https://t.co/Mbe2yTvAcW — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Until ICE shuts down its mass detention machine, the government must at least provide due process to ensure that people are given a meaningful chance at release from ICE detention. We, along with @aclusocal and @nwirp, won't stop fighting. https://t.co/6s4vxf2W6P — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

ICE uses these reviews to rubber stamp detention for months or years, based on arbitrary reasons, or no reasons at all. ICE’s record of abuse, neglect, and death makes clear that detention is dangerous — and cannot be made safe and humane. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The Biden administration is arguing no hearings are required here because immigrants get paper “file reviews,” done solely by ICE — the jailer. But file reviews are no substitute for a hearing before a judge. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Our clients are people who were previously deported from the US, but came back because they faced torture or persecution in their countries of origin. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

This morning, we’re arguing before the Supreme Court to defend our clients’ right to due process and a meaningful chance at release. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

We’ve lived with the legal and moral stain that is Guantanamo for far too long. Tell President Biden to take action and close Guantanamo once and for all.https://t.co/gUVIdZrshP — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

On the 20th anniversary, President Biden needs to fulfill his pledge to finally end this shameful chapter of American history. He can do this by ending indefinite military detention and the unconstitutional military commissions system. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Colleen Kelly lost her brother in the 9/11 attacks. She recently told Congress that she hopes for “a resolution to the 9/11 Military Commission that provides answers to our questions, accountability for unlawful acts, justice too long denied, and a path to closing Guantanamo.” — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Guantanamo can be closed responsibly in a way that considers the harm done to men who have been tortured and imprisoned without charge or fair trials for 20 years and to victims’ families. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Four American presidents have overseen the facility and three have promised to close it. Every day Guantanamo remains open is an affront to human rights, justice, and the rule of law. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Many of the remaining men are torture survivors. The CIA formerly disappeared some of them to “black sites” before they were sent to Guantanamo. All of them have been exposed to the physical and psychological trauma associated with prolonged indefinite detention. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Since 2002, 779 Muslim men and boys have been held at Guantanamo, nearly all without charge or trial. Today, 39 men remain indefinitely detained. 27 have never been charged with a crime, and 14 of those prisoners have been cleared for transfer or release, some for years. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Today marks 20 years since the first Muslim detainees arrived at Guantanamo Bay. It is now the longest-standing war prison in US history. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

More states must act. The current patchwork of abortion access leaves too many people without care. It's more urgent than ever that we protect abortion nationwide. Tell your Senators to support the Women's Health Protection Act NOW. https://t.co/De4TvbaHhL — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

New Jersey just passed a bill that will permanently protect abortion access in the state even if the Supreme Court overturns Roe. This is big – but we can't stop here. There's still more to be done to ensure everyone in New Jersey can get the care they need. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Our client Angie's son died following a border patrol vehicle pursuit. This case is tragic — but not uncommon. Border patrol agents have too much discretion and face zero accountability. This must change. https://t.co/Mv0NVaKdAW — PolitiTweet.org

Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in Garland v. Gonzalez, which will decide whether the Biden administration can continue using abusive and unjust immigration detention tactics. https://t.co/YCbZ5N61z3 — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Along with @NYCLU and the @ncacensorship, we are calling for the appeals court to put a stop to this blatantly unconstitutional prior restraint on the New York Times. We will defend our rights. https://t.co/BxGKTVFc1p — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

The court’s order unconstitutionally infringes both the freedom of the press and the right of the public to receive information. We won’t allow it. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

Last month, a New York state judge ordered the New York Times to turn over documents and stop reporting on information related to Project Veritas’ leaked legal memos. — PolitiTweet.org

ACLU @ACLU

BREAKING: Today we filed an amicus brief in support of The New York Times’ right to publish information related to self-described ‘guerilla journalist’ group Project Veritas. Courts shouldn’t be in the business of telling newspapers what to print and the public what to read. — PolitiTweet.org
