We’re suing to block the unlawful transformation of public lands along the southern border into a “national defense area.” This would turn 100,000+ acres used for recreation, humanitarian work, and essential services into a zone for military officials to conduct immigration enforcement.

UPDATE: We’re expanding our case challenging the Trump-Vance admin’s plans for armed agents at polling places. This expansion includes adding Hennepin County, MN, as a plaintiff and making a new claim under the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits intimidation, threats and coercion related to voting.

We're asking a court to stop the development of an intrusive, harmful 250-foot arch proposed in Arlington County across from the Lincoln Memorial. This vanity project — dressed as a military complex — unlawfully bypassed environmental review and would severely impact the county and its residents.

A federal court blocked a Trump-Vance policy preventing people in immigration detention from completing required steps in their immigration applications. This is a major victory for survivors of trafficking and domestic violence, abused children, and people seeking to reunite with their families.

The Trump-Vance administration is using public funds to air political ads, including one used in President Trump’s 2024 campaign. This unlawful use of taxpayer funds to air Trump’s partisan propaganda must be stopped. We will see to it in court.

Every eligible voter needs a plan to vote this fall. Check your registration, vote early, track your ballot, and encourage and help your friends, family, and community members to vote. You learn more at vote411.org.

Remember: There’s no one to save us but us but we can do it – together.

We obtained records showing ICE’s attempts to silence voters. The Trump-Vance admin should not be using the power of the federal govt to undermine confidence in our elections. But in America, voters choose their leaders. We’ll continue to use all legal tools to expose threats to elections.

ICE and DHS are attempting to silence voters ahead of the midterm elections. Here's what you need to know.

This trove of documents provides chilling new insights into the breadth and depth of the Trump-Vance administration’s efforts to pursue baseless claims of widespread election fraud and assert greater federal control over elections ahead of the 2026 midterms.

And here’s how ICE is using all this information:

They’re targeting nonprofits who engage in voter registration activities and considered using undercover agents to do so.
Some state voter roll data may have been entered into Palantir’s ELITE app, which is used by ICE to identify, prioritize, and locate targets for deportation.
DHS may be investigating voting machines and voter fraud in “counties with 2020 results.”

The records also outline election denier Heather Honey obtained 48.4 million records through “independent sources of information” and shared them with Homeland Security Investigations as a “strategic line of effort” to pursue voter fraud investigations.

Following our FOIA requests earlier this year, DHS just responded with a 166-page series of weekly reports shared with ICE leadership that claim to demonstrate fraudulent voting activities.

We just obtained records showing DHS and ICE attempting to silence voters. Here’s what our investigation uncovered.

We just obtained groundbreaking records that show how ICE is attempting to silence voters

BREAKING: ICE over the past year investigated hundreds of nonprofits across the U.S. that help people register to vote. The internal documents, obtained by the Democracy Forward, showed that ICE's investigative arm also contemplated sending undercover agents to investigate the organizations.

Following our FOIA requests, we obtained groundbreaking records showing ICE’s attempts to silence voters. ICE obtained 48.4 million records from Heather Honey, a known election denier, as a “strategic line of effort” to pursue voter fraud investigations.

BREAKING: Out this morning, government records obtained by @democracyforward.org show that DHS/ICE has been obtaining tens of millions of records, including by election denier Heather Honey who now serves at DHS, investigating voters. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/07/u...

The Trump-Vance admin tried to de-fund a small business lending program, and our litigation just stopped it. Here’s what you need to know about our latest win.

Any policy that threatens working people’s ability to do their jobs and provide for their families is a policy we cannot stay silent on. SEIU @seiu509.bsky.social @32bjseiu.bsky.social & partners are suing over policies that would force people to separate from their families to obtain a green card.

@democracyforward.orgOct 6, 2026, 4:49 PM

The investigation raises questions about whether federal agencies could be used to target public critics and officials involved in prior investigations and prosecutions of the president.

We’re honored to represent @fsfp.bsky.social in this fight for accountability and transparency.

@democracyforward.orgOct 6, 2026, 4:49 PM

The Dept. of Justice must never be used as a weapon for retaliation. We’re suing for records of the DOJ official who was reportedly investigating whether President Trump’s civil rights were violated — by legitimate criminal investigations conducted after his first term. ⬇️
