The Supreme Court issued two rulings today restricting schools’ ability to fully address systemic racial inequalities that persist in higher education – and hindering the ability of a university to select its student body.

When two men carjacked someone, robbed a group of women at the Mall of America a day later, and used the women’s cards to buy items at Walmart, Kylese Perryman was nowhere nearby. Police arrested the innocent man anyway and failed to do a basic investigation that would have cleared him. We sued.

Plaintiffs represented by the ACLU of Minnesota have reached a settlement with former MPD union head and Lt. Bob Kroll over his role in the police violence against demonstrators during the George Floyd protests.

The ACLU of Minnesota responds to a court-enforceable agreement between the Minnesota Department of Human Rights and Minneapolis to reform police. Now the city must immediately take steps to implement this order. 

The ACLU of Minnesota applauds the decision to end this discriminatory law that led to racial disparities in voting and political inequality.

The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled today that our Constitution doesn’t automatically provide Minnesotans on felony probation with the right to vote upon release from incarceration.
