ACLU: Trump will face its 'full firepower' if he doesn't reverse course on unconstitutional plans
The American Civil Liberties Union is calling on Donald Trump to reverse course on campaign promises the group deems un-American and unconstitutional.
In a press release, the ACLU urges Trump to “reconsider and change course” on several campaign promises. They include pledges to remove 11 million immigrants living here illegally, to ban Muslims from entering the country and surveil Muslims, to punish women who have abortions, to reauthorize waterboarding, and to change the nation’s libel laws.
“These proposals are not simply un-American and wrong-headed, they are unlawful and unconstitutional. They violate the First, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth and 14th Amendments,” the press release says. “If you do not reverse course and instead endeavor to make these campaign promises a reality, you will have to contend with the full firepower of the ACLU at every step.”
