Recent data indicate that the United States’ human rights record has worsened significantly in 2025, with notable declines across eight of nine civil and political rights measures. The Human Rights Measurement Initiative reports that the U.S. experienced its largest ever drops in protections against forced disappearance and restrictions on religious freedom, alongside substantial declines in rights to political participation, free expression, and freedom from torture and extrajudicial killings. These declines are linked to increased use of detention practices, deadly enforcement actions, and restrictions on civil liberties, challenging the narrative that the U.S. is improving in human rights. Early indications for 2026 suggest the trend is continuing, with ongoing abuses and government actions that threaten fundamental freedoms.
