The ACLU filed legal challenges against former President Donald Trump’s administration more than 400 times during his first term to halt policies like separating immigrant families. The ACLU is preparing to challenge Trump's promises of mass deportation raids and the largest deportation operation in U.S. history if he wins another term. Trump has endorsed plans like using the National Guard for major arrest operations of undocumented immigrants, opening large detention camps, and fast-tracking deportations. Conservatives have prepared a "Project 2025" handbook with over 1,000 policy proposals to help Trump overcome lawsuits, claiming a second term would be better prepared.
