The Trump administration and its allies have been working hard to undermine our democracy, but we’re working harder to stop them. Protecting our constitutional freedoms means protecting our elections for every eligible American.

This back-to-school season, don’t forget you have a constitutional right to express yourself.

Homelessness is a policy failure, not a personal one. Our new polling shows that the public wants housing, not handcuffs, to solve homelessness.

031

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

The underlying cause of America’s homelessness crisis is the severe shortage of affordable housing. Arresting people doesn’t solve the problem — it only makes it worse.

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

TONIGHT on ACLU National's monthly people power action call, we'll go over how the Trump administration is attacking the civil rights of unhoused people and gutting real solutions to homelessness — and what we can all do about it. RSVP at the link in our bio.

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

We are deeply alarmed by reports of at least 16 immigration arrests in Santa Fe and surrounding communities over the past four days.

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Police officers have repeatedly used Flock's surveillance network to access data about people they know and track their whereabouts. This is indefensible, warrantless surveillance.

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

People with disabilities aren’t asking for the world — we’re only asking that our elected leaders treat us with dignity and make policy decisions that follow the law and ensure access for people with disabilities. Everyone deserves the opportunity to live and work freely.

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

In our July virtual action call, we'll share critical updates about our new report on ICE and CBP’s abuses and how to take action to rein them in. RSVP Now: act.aclu.org/a/2026-july-...

Federal agents are abusing people in the streets. Our new report, Agents of Chaos and Cruelty, goes over the egregious patterns we found while analyzing 1,200+ incidents related to immigration enforcement from last year.

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Too many people have lost their lives due to ICE's violence and negligence. These devastating tragedies are a predictable result of President Trump and Stephen Miller's anti-immigrant campaign. Tell our leaders in Congress to stop enabling ICE's violence: action.aclu.org/send-message...

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

There were 418 instances of ICE pushing, shoving, tackling, and pinning people during enforcement actions in 2025. An additional 150 incidents involved people engaged in activities protected by the First Amendment, including protestors, legal observers, elected officials, journalists, and clergy.

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

In 2025 alone, 155 U.S. citizens — including Indigenous people — were detained. An additional 30 legal permanent residents or green card applicants and 10 DACA recipients were detained.

131

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Last year, 624 instances of ICE enforcement activities happened in everyday locations like neighborhood sidewalks, bus stops, gas stations, grocery stores, and malls—changing the nature of American life.

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

In 2025, 214 children were detained or targeted by ICE agents, including 32 U.S. citizen children.

Our country was founded on the guarantee that we’re all born equal with certain inalienable rights. We won't let any president, or anyone, get away with attacking it.

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Before the NMCRA, people with legitimate civil rights cases were forced into federal court, where qualified immunity often shut the courthouse doors before a victim ever had a real chance to be heard.

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

As the U.S. Supreme Court erodes well-settled rights one by one, the New Mexico Civil Rights Act stands as a critical safeguard to our rights in New Mexico. As we celebrate its 5th anniversary, we're thankful for the extensive protections it offers us.

082

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

Five years ago, we said that when people in positions of power violate our rights, New Mexicans deserve a meaningful way to hold them accountable. With the federal rollback of civil rights and liberties ongoing, this piece of legislation has been substantial in safeguarding our rights.

In the mid-1900s, thousands of government workers were fired or forced to resign solely for being queer. This era is known as the Lavender Scare — and we see history repeating itself under the Trump administration. www.aclu-nm.org/news/trump-a...

What Was the Lavender Scare?

An effort to push queer people out of public life during the Red Scare takes familiar shape under the Trump administration today.

We won’t stop saying it: ICE doesn’t belong in our communities.

The Supreme Court granted a one-week hold on a decision restricting mail and pharmacy access to mifepristone, a safe and effective medication used in abortion and miscarriage care. The case will now go on the court’s emergency docket. They must end this attack on our reproductive freedom.

The Trump administration concocted the newest era of border militarization in New Mexico with an elaborate, multi-step plan. This newest phase of militarization poses grave new risks for the borderlands, and Congress must step in so that everyone's rights are protected. Here's how they did it 🧵

The "Invisible" Military Bases At the Border - ACLU of New Mexico

With this new phase of militarization of the border, the U.S. government has entered uncharted territory. The implications for fundamental civil liberties are significant.

Birthright citizenship is a fundamental, constitutional guarantee. We went to the Supreme Court to preserve the promise of the 14th Amendment.

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

The First Amendment is fundamental to our democracy, whether or not President Trump likes it. We will defend it with everything we've got.

If these arrests continued at this pace, the number of parents in detention will have doubled by now. ICE must stop ripping families apart — tell Congress at the link in our bio to rein in ICE's abuses.

ACLU of New Mexico @aclunm.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

For more than a century, the Supreme Court has affirmed the 14th Amendment right that guarantees children born in the United States are citizens. The Supreme Court must not cower to the president’s will and must, once again, affirm that all children born in the USA are Americans.

On this Trans Day of Visibility, we celebrate all of our trans community members. Visibility matters. And so does action to support transgender people. We'll never stop fighting to make New Mexico a place where ALL OF US belong.

The safest communities invest in their communities the most in things like housing, education, and health care. New Mexico needs to move beyond tactics from the 1900s and adopt evidence-based strategies to improve public safety.

In New Mexico, we respect our freedoms, our neighbors, and our right to determine our own futures.

UPDATE: This settlement is a milestone in New Mexico and the nation. We must do everything in our power at the state, county, and city levels to prevent other people in New Mexico from ending up in a dangerous detention facility like the one where Kesley lost his life.
