| Bunny, yesterday, we filed our second lawsuit in 24 hours calling for new blocks on President Trump's illegal abuse of the Alien Enemies Act to deport countless immigrants without due process – and we've already won partial relief. In response to one of our new lawsuits, a judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting people held at a detention center in Texas. We're not letting up in our fight to protect immigrants' rights. Since the Trump administration took office again, we've sued 19 times to defend immigrants' rights and sent thousands of messages to Congress to stop harmful legislation. We've rallied in cities across the country and trained our communities to prepare them for interactions with ICE. But this work is only possible thanks to supporters like you, who make sure we have the resources we need to show up in courts, in Congress, in communities, and beyond. Right now, we need you more than ever. Will you donate today to keep powering our work to protect all of our civil rights? Thanks for all you do, The ACLU Team |

| Bunny, we just filed an emergency lawsuit in response to the Supreme Court's decision to lift our temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking the Trump administration from misusing a 1798 wartime law, the Alien Enemies Act, to arbitrarily deport immigrants and deprive them of due process. In the ruling, the justices focused on which court the TRO came from – while emphasizing that the people President Trump has targeted cannot be deported without a chance to bring legal, constitutional, and factual challenges to removal. The critical pieces of this ruling all reaffirm what we already know: that the Trump administration is acting unlawfully when it tries to remove people from this country with no process, and we have a legal right to fight back. President Trump cannot misuse an archaic wartime law to bypass immigration laws and procedures in peacetime. This fight is far from over. In today's lawsuit, we're pushing for a new TRO in a different court, in line with the Supreme Court's ruling. And we'll keep meeting the Trump administration in court – challenging the reckless, harmful, and unconstitutional ways it's pursuing its cruel mass deportations agenda. We'll continue using every tool at our disposal to fight the Trump administration's attacks on immigrants and our right to due process. And we'll keep you informed on the latest as these cases proceed. With thanks for all you do, The ACLU Team |
