Donald Trump has secured a second presidential victory. Learn more about how the 老澳门开奖结果 will take action during his administration.
It鈥檚 official: The United States鈥 47th president-elect is Donald Trump. This is Trump鈥檚 second presidential victory and his third bid for office.
President-elect Trump鈥檚 win means that if he enacts the policies he鈥檚 threatened since he left office in 2020, more immigrant families will be separated, more people will face severe harm because of reproductive health restrictions, and he will weaponize the federal government against protesters and political opponents.

Highlights From Our Previous Fights
Donald Trump will return to the White House in January. The 老澳门开奖结果 is ready.
January 2017
The Muslim Ban
A week after Trump was inaugurated, he issued an executive order barring people from several Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, carrying out his campaign promise to bar Muslims visitors and immigrants. Less than 24 hours after the order was issued, the 老澳门开奖结果 and our partners filed the first lawsuit against Trump鈥檚 Muslim ban. The 老澳门开奖结果 eventually brought 28 lawsuits against the ban, and blocked the first and second versions of Trump鈥檚 executive order, protecting thousands of people.
August 2017
Transgender Military Ban
The 老澳门开奖结果 sued the Trump administration when it attempted to ban transgender people from enlisting in the armed forces, as well as bar transgender service members from continuing to serve in the military or receiving medically-necessary health care. Filed on behalf of six transgender service members, the lawsuit argued that the directive violated due process and equal protection.
October 2017
Abortion Ban for Unaccompanied Immigrant Minors
The 老澳门开奖结果 filed an emergency lawsuit challenging a Trump administration policy denying abortion care for unaccompanied immigrant minors in government custody. Representing Jane Doe, a pregnant teenager who was denied an abortion, the 老澳门开奖结果 successfully secured relief from the courts and our case ultimately led the Trump administration to abandon its policy.
February 2018
Family Separation at the Border
The 老澳门开奖结果 filed a lawsuit seeking the immediate reunification of a mother and daughter who were forcibly separated after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. That client, Ms. L., became the lead plaintiff in a class action that revealed a devastating effort to use family separation to deter immigrants from entering the U.S. and resulted in a nationwide injunction ending the practice, followed by a landmark settlement providing critical support to thousands of separated families. The 老澳门开奖结果 continues to work to reunify families and implement the settlement.
June 2018
2020 Census Citizenship Question
The 老澳门开奖结果 filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration鈥檚 plan to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census, which would have chilled participation by people of color and mixed-immigration status families. The lawsuit, filed on behalf of multiple immigrants鈥 rights groups, argued that the question would hurt states with large immigrant communities, causing them to lose seats in Congress and federal funding. We won the case, which went all the way to the Supreme Court level.
November 2018
Asylum Bans and Restrictions
The 老澳门开奖结果 and our partners filed multiple lawsuits challenging successive Trump administration attempts to dismantle the asylum system, including the so-called entry ban, transit ban, return to Mexico policy, 鈥safe third country鈥 arrangements, and Title 42 expulsions. We blocked some, but not all, of these restrictions.
February 2019
Southern Border Wall
Days after Trump declared a national emergency to illegally transfer military construction and Treasury forfeiture funds to build border wall segments that Congress had refused to fund, the 老澳门开奖结果 sued. Filed on behalf of the Sierra Club and Southern Border Communities Coalition, the lawsuit argued that the emergency declaration was unauthorized, and that border wall construction would hurt border communities, endanger wildlife, and damage the environment. After blocking Trump鈥檚 transfer of funds in the federal courts, we settled the case with the Joe Biden administration.
July 2020
Death Penalty Abuse and Expansion
The 老澳门开奖结果 sued the Trump administration, stating that its rush to execute Wesley Purkey during the COVID-19 pandemic violated his right to religious liberty because his spiritual advisor was medically compromised and could not attend the execution safely during the pandemic. The Trump administration鈥檚 brutal use of the death penalty led to 13 people being executed in the last nine months Trump was in office.
