ACLU of Louisiana @acluoflouisiana.bsky.social · 17/07/2026Tonight, Trump made a desperate address to the nation returning to the tired conspiracy theory to sow doubt in our election system. This conspiracy theory isn't new — it’s part of a predictable playbook designed to make people doubt the next election, and was cooked up right after the 2020 election. 221

ACLU of Louisiana @acluoflouisiana.bsky.social · 23/03/2026ICE is currently deployed at MSY. This should never have happened. Congress needs to fund TSA so that agents can get back to work.

ACLU of Louisiana @acluoflouisiana.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Today we sent letters to ICE because their detention facilities are violating the right to access to counsel. We are demanding changes be made to remedy these violations. #ice #immigration #louisiana #aclu 031
Reposted by ACLU of LouisianaRobert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center @kennedyhrc.bsky.social · 09/03/2026(1/3) In 2025, DHS adopted new policies preventing detained people from completing immigration applications for which they qualify.
