The fundamental constitutional protections of due process and equal protection embodied in our Constitution and Bill of Rights apply to every person, regardless of immigration status.
When the government has the power to deny legal rights and due process to one vulnerable group, everyone’s rights are at risk. The ACLU of North Carolina is dedicated to expanding and enforcing the civil liberties and civil rights of immigrants and to combating public and private discrimination against them.
The ACLU of North Carolina has advocated for the rights of immigrants at the General Assembly and in communities across the state, with a particular emphasis on combatting law enforcement tactics that profile and target people based on their perceived immigration status.
