Immediately after Trump’s election, we put the president and his administration on notice: If they enacted unconstitutional and illegal policies, we would see them in court. We meant it. As of today, we’ve filed 400 legal actions against this administration. Our 400th filing was a class-action lawsuit that seeks to block the removal of children seeking asylum at the border. In this centennial year of our founding, we remain steadfast. We at the ACLU believe that America — our basic values, system of checks and balances, our shared humanity — is worth fighting for. Today, we recommit to this fight, to create a world where “we the people” truly means all of us.
Throughout our 100-year history, we’ve held presidents of all parties accountable. As a nonpartisan organization, we don’t oppose candidates or officials, but we’ve spent a century protecting and expanding civil liberties and civil rights. So when Trump took the national stage, we were prepared. We issued a clarion call after the election, reminding then president-elect Trump and his colleagues that if they followed through on their discriminatory and hateful policies they touted, they would face the full firepower of the ACLU, our state affiliates, and our supporters.
