@ccrjustice.orgBREAKING: Trump admin must turn over secret boat strikes memo. This decision ordering in camera review of the memo is a crucial win for transparency and accountability.

@ccrjustice.orgAccording to the latest federal monitor report, 13 years after the historic decision that ruled stop and frisk unconstitutional, the NYPD still fails to accurately document Terry stops (i.e. stop and frisk). "Persistent underreporting reflects an ongoing lack of accountability," reads the report.
@ccrjustice.orgThree years into the genocide in Gaza, Netanyahu will duck in and out of the U.S., a wanted criminal and blood-soaked pariah.
@ccrjustice.orgWhat happens if habeas is—de facto—unavailable? That's the question facing detainees at Adams County detention center, where there's a backlog of 800+ cases.
"The government can just take you and detain you and put you in custody without any recourse."
@ccrjustice.orgWe stand in solidarity with Prof. Erakat and join her and South Florida residents in calling on Palm Beach County officials to end its $1 billion in Israeli bonds investments—money that is used to murder Palestinians.
@ccrjustice.orgYesterday our board member, Prof. Noura Erakat, was arrested while joining 100 South Florida residents to give comments against Israel Bonds during the public Palm Beach County Budget hearing.
@ccrjustice.orgLegal Director Baher Azmy in the Boston Review: following 9/11 "the United States’s totalizing military response has never come to an end."
U.S. impunity "paved the way for rank authoritarianism and forever war—all of it enabled by an imperial Supreme Court."

@ccrjustice.orgThe sheer speed and impunity with which ICE is abducting and detaining people is overwhelming to the courts and advocates. We must ensure that habeas remains the “swift and flexible” remedy for unlawful detention that it has been for centuries.
@ccrjustice.orgIt's been 25 years since 9/11.
25 years of a “war on terror” rooted in white supremacy, patriarchy, colonialism, and Christian nationalism. Every administration since – Bush, Obama, and Biden – has contributed to this impunity, and we are paying with Trump's admin.
@ccrjustice.orgWe've said it before and we'll say it again. These boat strikes are murder, plain and simple. Extrajudicial killing is prohibited under federal law and international human rights law. There is no bona fide armed conflict that could justify these actions.
@ccrjustice.orgFREE: Join us TOMORROW as we discuss the merger of the war on drugs and the war on terror, and how it's been used to justify abuse of governmental power (including Trump's boat strike murders) while distracting from the gutting of lifesaving public health services.
@ccrjustice.org“The case against Mahmoud is nothing but an authoritarian diktat. ‘We don’t like what you have to say, so we are going to use the full weight of the federal government to make you leave.’ ” — Baher Azmy, Legal Director
@ccrjustice.orgOn August 4th, @npr.org’s Code Switch covered our lawsuit against senior Trump administration officials and three anti-Palestinian groups: the Heritage Foundation, Canary Mission, and Betar. www.npr.org/2026/08/04/n...
@ccrjustice.orgNEW FILING: Today, four human rights groups filed a lawsuit in the Southern District of New York on August 11, 2026, alleging that the Trump administration is illegally sanctioning and criminalizing individuals and organizations affiliated with or assisting the work of the ICC.
@ccrjustice.orgFILED! One year after his arrest, Mahmoud Khalil is responding with a landmark lawsuit against senior Trump administration officials and three anti-Palestinian groups: the Heritage Foundation, Canary Mission, and Betar.

@ccrjustice.orgWe're devastated but remain undeterred. Today's SCOTUS decision overturns immigration laws that, for 100+ years, have required gov't officials to inspect anyone presenting themselves at designated ports of entry. Asylum saves lives. We'll keep fighting to protect families seeking asylum.
@ccrjustice.org"The insurrection that’s supposedly happening here is, as they say in horror movies, coming from inside the house. It’s not from the people of Minneapolis. It’s from the ICE agents themselves who are fomenting this violence."
— Baher Azmy, Legal Director www.democracynow.org/2026/1/16/in...
@ccrjustice.orgMust read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.
