Immigrants' Rights
Through litigation, legislation, public advocacy, and outreach, the ACLU of Massachusetts defends the constitutional rights of all people, regardless of where they came from.
All Massachusetts residents deserve to feel safe in their communities. We work directly with vulnerable communities and collaborate with trusted partners to make sure immigrants know their rights.
We also advocate on Beacon Hill to change discriminatory policies, and we file lawsuits to reunite families and free people from unlawful detentions. Finally, we collaborate with trusted community partners to increase immigrants’ civic engagement so that all voices are reflected in the democratic process.
