ACLU-MN SUES ON BEHALF OF MAN WRONGFULLY ARRESTED IN WILLMAR
The ACLU of Minnesota filed a lawsuit on behalf of Derrick Gilbert, who was unlawfully arrested by Willmar police in a classic case of “walking while Black.”
As a leading civil rights organization in the land of 10,000 lakes, we at the ACLU of Minnesota believe it is our duty to keep the public informed about the state of their civil liberties. The work we do at the legislature, in the courts, and in our communities is important, but there is no better defender of civil rights than a public that is informed and engaged.
