Stay Informed | Civil Rights in Delaware

The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy — and it must be protected. Join Rep. Lambert, Sen. Pinkney, the NAACP LDF, and the ACLU of DE for a Rally at Legislative Hall on Friday June 5th at 12pm, as our state legislators formally introduce the State Level Voting Rights Act. This landmark legislation represents a critical step toward ensuring fair, accessible, and protected voting for all eligible residents. We are gathering to send a clear message: our community supports strong voting protections and will not stand by while the right to vote is threatened or suppressed. Together, we will call on our elected officials to act swiftly and boldly in defense of democracy. All are welcome. This is a peaceful, public rally open to community members, advocates, faith leaders, students, and anyone who believes every vote must count.

HS 1 for HB 368 reduces law enforcement's cooperation with immigration officials by limiting when they honor detainer requests. A detainer request is an administrative request from ICE to hold an individual beyond their scheduled release or notify ICE prior to their release. This legislation would prohibit law enforcement from detaining or extending the detention of any person based solely upon an immigration detainer or civil immigration warrant, and provides exceptions for violent felonies, domestic violence, sex offenses, and repeat DUIs.
