    ACLU will sue Trump over National Emergency

    ACLU Supporter —

    President Trump declaring a phony national emergency demonstrates how willing he is to undermine the Constitution — and how eager he is to keep escalating his cruel, cynical and politically-motivated attack on immigrant families. We're not going to let him get away with it.

    We will be taking Trump to court and challenging this dangerous threat to our democracy.Now, we need your help to keep defending the rule of law and fighting for people's fundamental rights.

    Donate now. Help the ACLU keep fighting to defend the Constitution and protect the rights of immigrants and asylum seekers.

    Donald Trump and his administration have made clear just how far they are willing to go — how many barriers of law, democratic norms, and human decency they are willing to barge through — just to build the wall at the center of their attack on immigrants. But we're going to keep fighting back: Since Trump came to office, we've filed 207 legal actions against his administration and we filed two other lawsuits in just the past 24 hours.

    Yesterday, we filed a lawsuit challenging Trump's new policy of forcing asylum seekers from Central America back into Mexico, stranding them in dangerous and difficult conditions indefinitely while their claims are processed. And next week, we'll be back in court, working to force the administration to account for potentially thousands of family separations they enforced and didn't bother to document.

    Help us keep fighting to challenge the Trump administration's abuse of power.

    Declaring a bogus national emergency for political gains is a new low for the Trump administration. There is no crisis at the southern border other than the humanitarian crisis this administration has created by tear gassing families and children, locking up asylum seekers, tearing apart families, letting children die on their watch — the list of abuses goes on. That is the crisis.

    And as long as Trump continues to show blatant disregard for the rule of law, then we'll keep fighting back.

    We're fighting for the country we want to live in — and it's not one that wages fabricated, Constitution-defying national emergencies out of hate, fear and ignorance.

    Please donate now so we can keep fighting for the rule of law and for people whose rights are being trampled on.

    Sincerely,


    Anthony D. Romero
    Executive Director, ACLU

    As much as majority of the government hates Trump, this precedent is just too juicy for them to pass up. The courts will let this stand.

    The ACLU is free to blow their money however they like, but I suspect they'll lose this case. Yes, it's a BS use of the NEA, but it's been done by many other Presidents over 40 years. The only people who can stop Trump is Congress.
