Samuel Cole, an immigration attorney with the ACLU of Illinois, said Sarsour had “clearly been targeted” for his activism for the Palestinian cause. “This administration cannot silence you,” he said. “The Constitution gives you the right to support Palestinian rights and you should not be intimidated.” The ACLU of Illinois is part of the legal team fighting for the release of Sarsour, a leader of Milwaukee’s Muslim community.

All young people in the care of DCFS deserve the critical non-discrimination protections and access to lawful health care under Illinois law. The SECURE Act will ensure that all youth under the care of DCFS have these protections, even if placed out of state. Thank you to and for their leadership in securing the passage of HB 4966. The bill now goes to the Governor for his signature.

Thank you to everyone who attended the 2026 ACLU Lunch on Tuesday! We were so inspired by our featured speaker who shared insights on the Supreme Court and the role we can play in creating the democracy we each aspire for. Our Board Member Andrew Johnson began our program by grounding our event in an acknowledgement of the land. Kevin Fee, our Legal Director, shared how the ACLU of Illinois has fought back against the abuses of the Trump Administration, and how we’re preparing for future fights. To end the program our Executive Director Colleen Connell called us all to action to build an inclusive democracy where we the people means all of us.

Barbara Flynn Currie was a trailblazer and role model for women across the state of Illinois. She used her relentless energy and remarkable political skills to secure marriage equality, bring an end to the death penalty, and assure access to reproductive health care in Illinois. From her role in crafting our state’s modern constitution to her leadership in the Illinois House, Barbara was a force for creating policies that make our state stronger for all residents.

Each year, hundreds of youths under DCFS care are placed out of state. The SECURE Act ensures these youth – who remain under the care of the State of Illinois – have all the Illinois statutory protections for access to lawful health care. It also strengthens important non-discrimination protections for youth in DCFS care and creates standards for assuring the safety and security of these young people. Thank you for your leadership in moving this measure forward. Take action in our bio link!
