The ACLU of Minnesota is a non-profit organization based in Minneapolis dedicated to protecting civil liberties and civil rights for Minnesotans. Founded in 1952 as the Minnesota Civil Liberties Union, it pursues its mission through litigation, public education, and lobbying related to legislation that affects rights. As a small-to-mid-sized nonprofit, it operates within the civil liberties landscape to advocate for individual rights and due process. Its work targets residents of Minnesota and seeks to address violations of constitutional rights through legal action, policy discussion, and public outreach. In recent developments, the organization filed suit against U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other federal agencies alleging constitutional rights violations. In late 2025, it expanded its policy efforts by hiring Sandra Feist to discuss legislation and policy solutions that lawmakers can use to protect Minnesotans' rights.
