The ACLU of California is comprised of three affiliates of the American Civil Liberties Union: the ACLU of San Diego & Imperial Counties, the ACLU of Northern California, and the ACLU of Southern California.
The ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project, founded in 1987, is dedicated to expanding and enforcing the civil liberties and civil rights of non-citizens and to combating public and private discrimination against immigrants.
The ACLU Southwest Border affiliates, including the ACLU of California, issued the following joint statement in response to the Senate’s vote to proceed on immigration reform:
SAN DIEGO and PHOENIX – In order to make America’s border agencies more accountable to the laws that protect us all, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) today announced the launch of a new Border Litigation Project to investigate, document and litigate civil and human rights cases along the U.S.-Mexico border. The new initiative will allow the ACLU to increase its legal capacity along the Southwest border by hiring two new full-time staff attorneys in San Diego and Tucson.
