The American Civil Liberties Union was the biggest legal thorn in President-elect Donald Trump’s side during his first term, challenging his immigration policies in major lawsuits more than any other entity.
This time around, the ACLU shows no signs of backing off, particularly since Trump has once again made big promises to overhaul the border and immigration protocols.
ACLU leadership warned two days after the Nov. 5 election that the organization stood ready to take on Trump again.
“As Trump returns to the White House, we’re ready to return to the courts and Congress to fight for our civil liberties,” the group said in a statement last month.
“Starting on day one, we’re ready to fight for our civil liberties and civil rights in the courts, in Congress, and in our communities,” it continued. “We did it during his first term … and we’ll do it again.”
