ACLU Preparing to Sue Trump If He Wins
Perhaps recognizing the increasing likelihood of a Trump victory in November, on July 15 the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) released “The Trump Memo” — a virtual legal action plan against many of Trump’s statements and proposals.
The release was preceded by a letter published in the Washington Post on July 13 written by Anthony Romero, the ACLU’s executive director, which said in part, “A Trump administration would violate the First, Fourth, Fifth and Eighth Amendments [to the Constitution] if it tried to implement his most controversial plans.”
Romero claimed that Trump’s plans to deport more than 11 million people during the first two years of his administration “would shred the Fourth Amendment’s protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.... It would run face-first into the due process protections afforded every person inside the United States under the Fifth Amendment.”
