Trump just called to “nationalize” U.S. elections, citing the debunked lie that non-citizens steal votes. It’s a xenophobic power grab rooted in anti-Latino fearmongering. We won’t let him rig our democracy. Read more: visit.latinojustice.org/trump-voting

Another life has been taken, Alex Pretti was murdered by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. This violence is not accidental. It's the result of unleashing unrestrained, militarized agents to terrorize our communities. We stand with Minneapolis and demand ICE be removed immediately.

An internal ICE memo claims agents can break into private homes without a judge’s warrant. That’s unconstitutional and flat-out wrong. We are demanding an immediate end to these illegal tactics that threaten families and violate basic rights. Read more: visit.latinojustice.org/press/ice-memo

As we honor the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today, a coalition of civil rights,
faith and advocacy organizations share a message with Congress
demanding accountability for the escalating abuse and executive overreach we are
seeing across the country.

The State Department just froze visa processing for 75 mostly non-white countries, indefinitely. This sweeping ban will block spouses, parents, and loved ones from reuniting with family in the U.S. It’s discriminatory, harmful, and wrong. Read more: visit.latinojustice.org/visa-freeze

A federal agent fatally shot a woman during an immigration raid in Minneapolis. This is a devastating escalation in Trump’s crackdown. Raids like these don’t protect public safety. They spread fear, chaos, and violence. Read more: https://visit.latinojustice.org/4st3rAC

Major win for immigrant NYers & for public safety!🎉

A federal court dismissed the lawsuit challenging New York’s Green Light Law, affirming access to driver’s licenses regardless of status. We stand with NYIC, Rural & Migrant Ministry, Hispanic Federation, Make the Road NY in defending this law!

LatinoJustice and HACU just won the right to defend Hispanic-Serving Institutions in court after the DOJ refused. The same group that killed affirmative action now wants to defund HSIs. We won’t let them erase opportunity for millions. Read more: visit.latinojustice.org/HSI

Asian and Latino civil rights groups just told SCOTUS: communities of color must be able to challenge voter suppression. If only the DOJ can enforce the Voting Rights Act, critical protections like language access will vanish. Read more: latinojustice.org/defend

The Trump admin just cut $350M in federal funding for Hispanic-Serving Institutions. This move erases decades of progress and harms over 5.6M students. We won’t let this attack on equity in education go unchecked. Read our full statement at visit.latinojustice.org/cutting350 🔗

Robert Roberson is an innocent man facing execution on Oct 16 in TX for a crime that never occurred. If Mr. Roberson’s execution is not stayed, he will be the first person executed in the U.S. using the widely debunked ‘Shaken Baby Syndrome’ hypothesis. JusticeForRobert.org

AALDEF and LatinoJustice filed a brief in a key NY redistricting case. Black and Latino residents are 40 percent of Newburgh, yet have never elected one of their own. Coalition districts matter. NYVRA must stand. Read the full statement: https://visit.latinojustice.org/4n6GGPI

The Dept. of Justice has ended its oversight of SCPD. Yet, Latino drivers in Suffolk are still ticketed more often and targeted through biased policing.

LatinoJustice will keep exposing & challenging racial profiling, unconstitutional police, & ICE collaborations!
