The ACLU of Idaho is invested in protecting the rights of immigrants to live in Idaho free from harassment, discrimination, and targeted unfair attacks from lawmakers.

All people in Idaho, regardless of their immigration status, have access to constitutionally protected rights, such as the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, the right to equal treatment under the law, the right to an attorney, the right to remain silent, and more. We encourage all Idahoans to actively learn their rights so we can fiercely defend them together.

ACLU of Idaho Statement on President Obama’s Immigration Executive Actions Announcement

On Thursday, November 20th, President Obama announced a package of executive actions to provide temporary reprieve from deportation to a limited number of immigrants living in the country.  The ACLU of Idaho welcomes this good news as a step in the right direction in addressing the plight of immigrant families caught in a political fiasco and broken immigration system. The temporary relief is a significant advancement towards affirming the civil liberties of immigrants.  Immigrants that will qualify can now breathe a sigh of relief, as the threat of possible deportation is cast aside.
