The ACLU of Idaho is a nonprofit organization founded to defend & preserve the individual liberties guaranteed to all by the U.S. Constitution & Bill of Rights.
If ICE is outside your door:
🚪 Do not open the door.
🚫 No warrant, no entry.
📃 ICE may try to force themselves in. Do not resist and take pictures of any documents they show you.
💬 If you are detained, say "I wish to remain silent. I want an attorney. I do not consent to any searches."

Knowing your rights and exercising those rights may make a huge difference in the event you run into law enforcement. You have constitutional rights in that situation, and hopefully they don't violate those rights. But if they do, let us know by filling out the form on our website.

Gov. Little directed "emergency funds" to deport people he labeled "violent criminals," yet most had no history of crime. Many were suspected, not convicted, of DUIs — a crime Idaho elected officials have been convicted of. We expect honesty & fairness from our leaders, not deception and hypocrisy.

Courts have affirmed: we all deserve accurate birth certificates.

Yet, Idaho’s AG is trying to reverse current policy, which allows people to update their gender marker. Trans Idahoans should prepare for possible changes to birth certificate policies in Idaho.

Let's be clear: Sandpoint City Council's choice to remove LGBTQ+ protections—and Mayor Grimm's tie-breaking vote—makes our trans neighbors less safe. Read our full statement: www.acluidaho.org/news/sandpoi...

Trans Day of Remembrance is a somber reminder of the impacts pervasive transphobia and an epidemic of violence bring to our trans community. Our gender identity should never make us a target.

This day also reminds us of our responsibility to keep each other safe and speak out against injustice.

We believe in a future where everyone can be their authentic selves without living in fear. No matter our race, class, or gender, we all deserve safety and dignity. #TransAwarenessWeek

As Idaho's elected officials continue bullying the trans community through legislation and harmful rhetoric, we cannot ignore a harsh reality: trans people face violence at rates four times higher than cisgender people.

Trans people are your neighbors, family members, colleagues, and friends.

But most importantly, we are HUMAN.

Firing non-lethal bullets at peaceful protesters, using vehicles as deadly force against demonstrators, prohibited chokeholds and carotid restraints, and many more allegations of illegal use of force.

We asked a former federal agent to review videos showing use of force against protesters. Here's what he found.
Use of force by federal agents has become a focus of legal disputes as the Trump administration contends the tactics are necessary. Our visual investigation breaks down some of the key moments.

SCOTUS granted the Trump administration's request to enforce its discriminatory passport policy while @aclu.org's lawsuit makes its way through the courts.

Now anyone who applies for a new, corrected, or replacement passport or for a passport renewal is at risk of having an inaccurate passport.

An increase in racial profiling has led to the detainment of more than 170 U.S. citizens across the country, according to recent ProPublica reporting. We saw this firsthand at the events in Wilder, where everyone was detained, including children and citizens.

This is unacceptable and dangerous.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And…

We cannot look away from what happened in Wilder, Idaho. This was a violent display of government power over civilians.

And we agree with the Statesman that such an egregious use of force would not happen at a non-Latino event anywhere in Idaho.

Idahoans should be able to attend family-friendly community events without fear of being terrorized by law enforcement.

What happened in Wilder is unacceptable and should never happen again.

Idahoans deserve accountability about what happened in Wilder on October 19, and we are not getting it.

This is the truth: Hundreds of innocent people, including children, were harmed at the hands of our government.

Thank you to everyone who has generously donated to the Idaho Familias Assistance Fund so far. If you're looking for ways to help, donations to this community fund will provide mutual aid to the Wilder families who have suddenly lost a loved one and don't know if they'll ever see them again.

The governor's statement celebrates hundreds of innocent people, including children, being zip-tied and detained as a success for justice because five people were allegedly engaging in illegal gambling. We think that's despicable.
