ACLU is set to create a rapid response team to stop illegal immigrants getting deported under the Trump administration.
The not-for-profit American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has seen membership and donations soar since the White House's executive order on migration blocking travel for citizens of seven mainly Muslim countries.
As the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) closes in on migrants, the group is launching a special unit to make sure those facing deportation are given access to counsel immediately.
