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 immigrants, all of our rights are at risk. The ACLU of RI works actively to expand and enforce the rights of immigrants and to combat discrimination against them.
