Just hours after taking office, President Trump signed an executive order attempting to deny citizenship to babies born in the United States. And, within just 2 hours, the ACLU filed a lawsuit to stop him.
This executive order is a clear violation of the Constitution’s guarantee that all people born in the U.S. are citizens and would upend the lives of thousands of pregnant people and newborns – denying babies basic health care and nutrition, the right to vote, obtain certain jobs, and so much more. President Trump, the ACLU will see you in court.
Your support today will help us meet this critical moment and stop the Trump administration’s attacks on immigrant communities. Please, donate right now to fund our fight against the Trump administration’s dangerous immigration policies and protect all our civil liberties.
The ACLU is clear-eyed about the fights ahead. President Trump and his administration will go to extreme lengths – and push the limits of their powers – to harm immigrant communities.
But we also know what it takes to defeat these attacks. The ACLU filed more than 400 legal actions against the Trump administration during his first term – and we’re ready to do it again.
Our nationwide network of attorneys is once again taking this fight to the courts to protect immigrants’ rights.
But this fight goes beyond the courtroom. The ACLU is already working with state and local governments to create firewalls preventing the Trump administration from using state resources to attack immigrants.
We need you with us at this urgent moment.
Thank you,
Deirdre Schifeling
