BREAKING: Crystal Mason, a Black mother of three who faced five years in prison for submitting a provisional ballot, no longer faces prison time.
A Texas court has rejected Tarrant County’s request to review her case — meaning Ms. Mason should now be free for good.

While we are relieved that Wilber is still alive, we call for his immediate release from immigration detention so that he can receive adequate medical care.
This should never have happened in the first place. Wilber and his loved ones deserve answers and accountability.

BREAKING: A U.S. District Court has reaffirmed that Texas' drag ban is unconstitutional.
Drag has a rich history of joy and liberation for countless Texans, and it’s not going anywhere.
All Texans, no matter our background, are guaranteed the right to free expression.

NEW: A federal court blocked key provisions of Texas’ extreme immigration enforcement law S.B. 4 (2023).
Immigration enforcement is exclusively a federal issue and not up to the states. Texas should stop wasting time trying to override the U.S. Constitution.

BREAKING: We and partners filed a class-action lawsuit to block provisions of Senate Bill 4 before May 15.
This law would allow police to arrest, detain, and remove people they suspect entered Texas without federal authorization.

S.B. 4 would separate families, fuel racial profiling, and pull Texas into a role the Constitution reserves for the federal government.
We, ACLU, and Texas Civil Rights Project are asking the court for emergency relief to stop it before harm begins.
