AWKO stands with the American Association for Justice, the Minnesota Association for Justice, and our colleagues across the civil justice community in condemning recent federal immigration enforcement actions in Minnesota that have sown fear, destabilized communities, and resulted in the tragic loss of life. As trial lawyers, we believe that upholding the rule of law and our Constitution is not optional; it is the core of our democracy and all that our country represents to Americans and to the world.
We stand with the families and communities in Minnesota who feel unsafe, the lawyers and advocates who are challenging unlawful conduct in court, and with the judges who are faithfully applying the Constitution in the face of political pressure. We reaffirm our commitment to a justice system that honors human dignity, safeguards constitutional rights, and ensures that no one is above the law.
