Here are four updates on key ACLU cases to defend immigrants' rights.

ACLU Supporter, as this administration's attacks on immigrants' rights reach a fever pitch, our legal team is putting everything we have into fighting back.

With support from people like you, we're in court across the country to protect our rights – here are the latest updates on this critical work that have unfolded over the past few weeks:

* Birthright Citizenship: We won two orders – including the only nationwide preliminary injunction on behalf of all affected individuals – blocking President Trump's blatantly unconstitutional executive order that would deny birthright citizenship to some babies. And this week, we're appearing in a federal appeals court to defend against the government's claim that Trump's order is lawful.

* Family Separation: We stopped the first Trump administration's horrifying family separation policy – but now, a federal court has found that the second Trump administration has breached the settlement agreement in our case that obligates it to provide legal and social services to the families they tore apart. The judge ordered the government to adhere to the agreement. We'll keep fighting in the courts to ensure the government does not subject these families to further suffering.

* ICE Detention: We're suing over due process violations at the new Everglades immigration detention center – cruelly dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” – that's already notorious for mistreatment of the people detained there. The Trump administration has denied people access to attorneys, so we'll see President Trump in court.

* Mass Deportations: We sued when the Trump administration sent hundreds of Venezuelan men to a prison in El Salvador notorious for torture without due process. Now, months later, they have finally been released from the Salvadoran torture prison – and sent to Venezuela. The government continues to try to evade responsibility and accountability for the many ways in which it has violated the law, including by deporting many before decisions had even been reached in their deportation proceedings. We're calling on the courts to order the government to explain if it intends to bring these men back to the United States while our main case proceeds.

We've taken over 50 legal actions during President Trump's second term challenging this administration's cruel immigration policies alone – and we're not slowing down. With your support, we'll continue fighting these appalling attacks on our rights.

Thanks for all you do,

The ACLU Team
