The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) on Saturday blasted President Trump for ignoring a court order demanding he release a memo drafted under former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani's guidance that outlined a plan to implement a travel ban without making it seem as if it was directly aimed at Muslims.

A federal judge in Detroit ordered the Trump administration to turn over the memo by May 19, according to reports. The ACLU said Saturday that Trump did not meet the deadline on Friday.

“If, as the administration claims, the Executive Order is not a Muslim Ban, then why is the administration refusing to turn over the Giuliani memo? What is in that document that the government doesn’t want the court to see?” Miriam Aukerman, Senior Staff Attorney at the ACLU of Michigan, said in a statement.
The ACLU along with Arab American Civil Rights League (ACRL) challenged the president's travel ban on nationals from several Muslim-majority countries in federal court earlier this year.

Yeah, I think I'd end up telling the ACLU to hold their breath for that memo.... since what I'd really want to tell them might get me in trouble.
