As Governor Phil Murphy said today, “when it comes to protecting fundamental rights, we will not give an inch." #NewJersey has and will continue to lead the way in safeguarding reproductive rights, no matter what is occurring on the national stage.


As immigrants’ rights are under threat across the country, New Jersey must lead by example in protecting them. Thank you Attorney General Matt Platkin for helping to ensure our state is safe and welcoming for all who call it home.

We're thrilled to share that author, political commentator & former senior Obama speechwriter David Litt has joined our Board of Trustees. David brings deep experience to our organization that will support our mission to protect democracy. Read more: aclu-nj.org/DavidLitt





USDOJ just issued an order halting all civil rights work on behalf of the federal government. Make no mistake: here in #NewJersey, we will continue our tireless work with New Jersey Division on Civil Rights-DCR to protect the civil rights of all New Jerseyans.

We need every leader to push back on ICE’s attempts to separate New Jersey families. We will keep families together in this state. Thank you, Ras J. Baraka, for speaking up!

Immigrants are real people, with families and jobs and lives — not “quotas” for ICE agents. Rounding up people en masse like this is cruel, dehumanizing, and ignorant of due process - something every single person in the U.S. is entitled to, no matter their immigration status.


On Reporters Roundtable with David Cruz, David Cruz talks with Amol Sinha, executive director of the ACLU of New Jersey, about the organization pushing back on the Trump administration’s policies and executive orders. "We are better and more prepared to go toe-to-toe with the administration again," says Sinha.

On Sen. Cory Booker 's Immigration Roundtable: "This is a dangerous time. This is a President with an extraordinary amount of power. He's demonstrated a willingness to abuse that power & break the law." From Washington, to Trenton, to our town council, we must stand up for #NJforALL


Interesting: Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka says the Trump admin’s new ICE detention center can’t open without satisfying permitting reqs.


🚨🚨Sen. Cory Booker has been on the Senate floor for 13+ hours, lifting up the voices of Americans who are being harmed by the Trump admin in this moment of crisis. Thank you, Senator Booker for your principled advocacy, and for fighting for all of us.


BREAKING: Governor Phil Murphy just granted clemency to four of our clients, several of whom were serving extended sentences due to extreme trial penalties. This is a critical step to addressing the harms perpetuated by the criminal legal system. Read more: aclu-nj.org/en/press-relea…
