Immigration

Our Constitution guarantees the fundamental rights and civil liberties of every person in this country — regardless of citizenship, refugee, or immigration status.

Upholding the rights and civil liberties of immigrants is important to all of us. When the government has the power to deny due process and other legal rights to one vulnerable group, everyone’s rights are at risk.

As political attacks on immigrants have escalated in recent years, we understand the stakes of these fights have only grown higher. The ACLU of Delaware is committed to pushing back against cruel anti-immigrant policies and defending the constitutionally guaranteed rights and civil liberties of every person in this country — regardless of citizenship, refugee, or immigration status.
