吃瓜大本营

The ACLU argued in court that Trump administration officials broke the law by defying a judge鈥檚 order and sending 100 Venezuelan men to a notoriously brutal prison in El Salvador without due process.

President Trump and his allies are trying to interfere with the 2026 midterm elections. Here鈥檚 what that means for your vote, and how the ACLU is fighting back to ensure power remains where it belongs 鈥� in the hands of voters.

The ACLU鈥檚 Center for Liberty and Women's Rights Project, alongside the ACLU of Georgia, filed an amicus brief in the Georgia Supreme Court supporting a mother after a juvenile court terminated her parental rights even though at the same time the juvenile court expressly found that her continued relationship with her children would not harm them. Under Georgia鈥檚 termination statute, courts may terminate parental rights if they find that a child cannot safely return home at present, without any finding that, or even considering whether, a continued parent-child relationship would harm the child or that termination is necessary. In this case, the Department鈥檚 own caseworker testified that the mother鈥檚 weekly visits with her children went well and that the relationship benefited the children and would continue to. The children's advocate agreed, testifying that the children had a good relationship and were bonded to their mother. Our brief urges the Court to require an individualized finding that severance is necessary to protect the child and that less drastic alternatives would not suffice. We argue that the Constitution does not permit the State to permanently end a parent-child relationship without first establishing that doing so is genuinely necessary.
