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
Foreign-born Alaskans make up 10.8% of Anchorage residents and are deeply rooted members of our statewide community.
Almost 40% of foreign-born Alaskans have been here for over 20 years.
Alaska ranks fourth among all states for the percentage of people who have become U.S. citizens.
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 Alaska is dedicated to expanding and enforcing the civil liberties and civil rights of immigrants and refugees and to combating public and private discrimination against them. In addition to litigation and legislative advocacy on behalf of newcomers, we provide essential information about constitutional rights to impacted groups and participate in educational efforts to strengthen immigrant and refugee communities in Alaska.
