(2/4) At the same time, Pres. Trump is sanctioning ICC judges, prosecutors, and human rights advocates who bring forward evidence of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

(3/4) We're witnessing the weaponization of a once useful system the US helped build. The State Dept's Human Rights Reports are being stripped of categories documenting attacks on peaceful assembly in China, torturous prisons in El Salvador, among others, & will be used as harassment tools instead.

(4/4) Human rights are universal. They are not tools for political convenience. They do not bend to ideology. And no administration can claim that equality, safety, and dignity are anything but fundamental rights. The world is watching. And history will remember where we stood.

(2/3) In today’s world, it’s easy to feel discouraged by division or despair. But Senator Kennedy’s words remind us that we all have the power, and the responsibility, to fight for the dignity and equality of every person.

(2/2) In 1968, when asked how he’d like to be remembered, Sen. Kennedy quoted Camus: “Perhaps we cannot prevent this world from being a world in which children are tortured. But we can reduce the number of tortured children.” He added, “I’d like to feel I’d done something to lessen the suffering.”

(2/5) In N.N. v. McShane, we successfully challenged ICE’s unlawful use of GPS ankle monitoring in defiance of a judge’s order of release from immigration detention on bond without any further conditions.

(3/5) In Ventura Martinez v. Trump, we freed a longtime Maryland resident and pillar of his community from detention, stopping the government from applying a new sweeping interpretation of law that would expand mandatory detention to millions of people.

(4/5) In Savane v. Francis, we freed a 22-year-old asylum seeker arrested without any notice of the reason why and locked in detention for months in violation of the Constitution, reinforcing that ICE can’t detain people indefinitely without justification.

(5/5) I’m so proud of our team and our partners for their tireless work defending human rights in the courts and beyond. Each of these victories is a reminder of what’s possible when we stand up for the rule of law and human dignity.

(4/4) "[This move] strips away an additional level of oversight for the human rights abuses happening every day under this administration," said Sarah Decker, our U.S. Senior Staff Attorney.

(3/4) The meeting was part of the UN’s Universal Periodic Review, a process where all 193 member states have their human rights records examined every 4–5 years. It’s extremely rare for a country not to attend.
