The American Civil Liberties Union filed legal challenges against former President Donald Trump ‘s administration more than 400 times during his time in the White House, helping to halt an array of policies, including separating immigrant children from their parents.
The ACLU isn’t conceding that Trump will beat President Joe Biden this year. But it’s publishing a blueprint on how it plans to respond to a second Trump term given his promises to go much further on immigration, with calls for mass raids and the largest deportation operation in U.S. history.
Advocacy groups are making contingency plans to try and tie up Trump’s priorities in court or through the workings of government. Trump’s allies, mindful of the resistance he faced in the White House and anticipating the chance to remake huge swaths of government, have prepared policy books and staffing plans of their own, including one effort known as “Project 2025.”
The ACLU shared a memo offering possible responses on immigration policy with The Associated Press ahead of its formal release on Thursday.
“This is really kind of the sequel on the earlier work that we did fighting off the worst of the Trump abuses,” said Anthony Romero, the group’s president.
