We believe that all people deserve dignity in their life. That extends to those that are pregnant in prison — before, during and after birth. With help from UW- Milwaukee film students, watch the videos and read our blog that detail this fight here: aclu-wi.org/en/news/keepin…
One of the big limiting factors for ICE is its amount of detention space. Making additional cells available to ICE makes it possible to ramp up even more rapidly its process of mass deportations.
Federal immigration agents are looking to local jails to help detain immigrants, and some Wisconsin counties are on board to help. fox6now.com/news/wisconsin…

Wisconsin needs to end crimeless revocation, expand community-based alternatives to incarceration, and fulfill its long-overdue promise to close inhumane prisons. wisconsinwatch.org/2025/07/wiscon…
It's Milwaukee city budget season — and we deserve investment in community resources, not surveillance tech. Get trained to fight the surveillance state at ACLU-WI.org/Events.
Incarcerated people also deserve the freedom to read. channel3000.com/madison-magazi…
Crimeless revocations occur when someone is reincarcerated for breaking a rule of their supervision, such as missing a parole appointment. This practice is a major driver of mass incarceration in our state — and it must end. wisconsinexaminer.com/2025/07/11/pub…
🚨The Milwaukee Police Department wants to trade 2.5 million mugshots for two "free" Biometrica facial recognition technology licenses.🚨 Tell our leaders that Milwaukee faces are not for sale at ACLU-WI.org/Act. youtu.be/Ydvw8YhhDao?si…

July is Disability Pride Month. It is a time to recognize people with disabilities and celebrate the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26th, 1990. Remember: Disability Rights are civil rights. All day. Every Day.
Milwaukee wants ICE out of our courts — and we agree. Due process is our right. We posted Know Your Rights information in the Milwaukee County Courthouse and will be sending the posters to courts around the state. Know Your Rights: aclu-wi.org/en/know-your-r…

Numerous courts in other states have ruled that police questioning students without reading their Miranda rights violates due process protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. It is time that the Wisconsin Supreme Court does the same. aclu-wi.org/en/press-relea…
Treatment instead of prison? Bill would cut overcrowding, save money, help mentally ill. jsonline.com/story/news/202…
We will always fight for the country we want to live in.
