Justice
The Trump administration halted Justice Department civil rights lawsuits on July 30, 2025, including cases against Louisiana for illegally detaining prisoners past release dates and South Carolina for warehousing mentally ill people in restrictive facilities. The Louisiana case documented 141 people held beyond their sentences in May 2024 alone, while South Carolina violated the Americans with Disabilities Act by denying community-based mental health services.

Why This Matters
⛓️ Innocent people rot in prison while Trump protects abusive states
Louisiana keeps 141 people locked up monthly after their sentences end—now nobody will force them to stop.
🧠 Mentally ill Americans lose court protection from warehousing
South Carolina can now lock disabled people in institutions instead of providing community care the ADA requires.
⚖️ Your civil rights disappear when DOJ stops enforcing them
Federal lawsuits are often the only way to stop state abuse—without them, constitutional violations continue unchecked.
📞 Contact your state attorney general to file replacement lawsuits
States can sue where feds won't—call your AG at 8am Monday demanding action on civil rights violations.
