Historic opioid settlements were supposed to be a lifeline for underserved communities. But much of that money is flowing to law enforcement.

Anna King, a combat veteran, was assaulted at her DC home when National Guard troops pinned her down, kneeled on her back, and handcuffed her so tightly that she required surgery. @aclu-dc.bsky.social will keep fighting to hold them accountable.

Her arrest by the National Guard went viral. Now she’s taking legal action.
Attorneys for Army veteran Anna King say she was assaulted for exercising free speech. Authorities say she threw an unknown liquid at troops in D.C. days earlier.

We're suing ICE for subjecting people at the nation's largest immigration detention center to a pattern of unconscionable abuse and neglect. In his own words, our plaintiff Gerald writes: "The conditions here in this ICE tent camp in a desert are inhumane and cruel. (1/3)
White text: "From our client detained by ICE at Camp East Montana." Handwritten note: ""The conditions here in this ICE tent camp in a desert are inhumane and cruel. No human being should ever have to go through this. I have already experienced torture in my home country of Cameroon and I never thought I would experience such severely violent treatment by guards here in the United States of America. I have been beaten here and even today, I still have a brace on my hands and wrist. I am in pain and I am scared to be here. No one deserves such cruel treatment. We are all humans and deserve to be treated like it. Gerald Akari Angye. May 27th, 2026. Camp East Montana." ACLU logo.
