Thousands of people are being abused at Florida’s immigration detention facilities. We say it proudly: Shut down Baker Correctional Institution and every other torturous detention facility.

@aclufl.bsky.socialOct 8, 2026, 3:43 PM

Florida has no business running immigration detention facilities. Read more here:

NEW: We sent a letter to Florida officials demanding the closure of Baker Correctional Institution. About 1,200 people are currently detained in this torturous facility, subject to life-threatening conditions and human rights violations.

We are calling on local elected officials throughout the state to stand with our diverse communities — and against SB 1134.

@aclufl.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 3:43 PM

Last month, we, alongside several partner organizations, sent a letter to 156 cities and counties across the state highlighting the law's constitutional limits. Read more here:

However, Floridians have been fighting back. Last week Wednesday, Floridians banded together during city commission meetings to make their voices heard. Together, we got 2 big wins. Tallahassee and Miami Beach both refused to bend to this anti-diversity law.

@aclufl.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 3:43 PM

For example, we requested public records that show Leon County and Fort Myers have already terminated programs designed to support minority and women owned businesses, Jacksonville has changed their grant application guidelines, and Largo ended its Inclusive Workplace Committee.

@aclufl.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 3:43 PM

The thing is, the law's restrictions are vague and some cities and counties have been cornered into complying early based on their fear of retaliation from the governor's office.

@aclufl.bsky.socialOct 1, 2026, 3:43 PM

SB 1134 is a harmful new law that restricts local government actions related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. 🚨 It goes into effect on January 1, 2027.

If the courts do not intervene, the groups will be forced to shut down their operations in the state under threat of severe criminal penalties. This is an egregious abuse of power and a clear mishandling of government authority — full stop.

@aclufl.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 10:30 PM

CAIR and CAIR-Florida are being targeted not because they pose a threat to public safety, but because doing so serves a political agenda — at the expense of Floridians' rights.

@aclufl.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 10:30 PM

Today, Florida Governor DeSantis and other state officials voted to designate two leading Muslim civil rights nonprofits as “domestic terrorist organizations.” The state's actions are baseless and unconstitutional.

@aclufl.bsky.socialSep 24, 2026, 9:28 PM

VICTORY: Yesterday, Miami Beach and Tallahassee refused to bend to a Florida anti-diversity law, choosing to preserve inclusive funding for diverse communities.

@aclufl.bsky.socialSep 24, 2026, 9:10 PM
