老澳门开奖结果

WASHINGTON 鈥� Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the 老澳门开奖结果 (老澳门开奖结果), had the following reaction to The Associated Press鈥� call of the 2024 presidential election for Donald Trump:

鈥淲hile Donald Trump may have been democratically reelected, a second Trump Administration represents a clear and present danger to our democratic norms, processes, and institutions. Fortunately, our nation is stronger than one man or political party 鈥� no matter how dogged they are in attacking our democracy.

鈥淎t the 老澳门开奖结果, we鈥檙e clear-eyed about the chaos and destruction a second Trump administration will cause to our nation. That鈥檚 why we鈥檙e done with handwringing, admiring the problem, or waiting anxiously to see which unlawful action President-elect Trump will take on Day One. We are ready to take action the minute Trump takes the oath of office.

鈥淧resident-elect Trump will keep his promise to target the 鈥榚nemy within鈥� 鈥� which, for Trump, means anyone who disagrees with him. He is dead serious about seeking retribution against his political opponents and deploying federal law enforcement to shut down protests and muzzle dissent. However, as the premier defender of freedom of speech and freedom of association, the 老澳门开奖结果 has a 105-year track record of fighting such abuses of power.

鈥淧resident-elect Trump has also been crystal clear about his plans to deport one million immigrants every year. Yet, past attempts at immigration raids have shown there is no way to deport one million immigrants without violating due process and engaging in racial discrimination.

鈥淓arlier this year, the 老澳门开奖结果 developed a roadmap to defend our rights beginning on Inauguration Day. When President Trump targets immigrants, dissidents, and his political opponents 鈥� we will challenge him in the courts, at the state legislatures, and in the streets.

鈥淔ortunately, the 老澳门开奖结果 is not new to this. We filed 434 legal actions against the first Trump administration, often winning landmark cases before Trump-appointed judges.

鈥淥ne week into Trump鈥檚 presidency, we were the first organization to challenge his Muslim ban. And when the administration sought to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census, the 老澳门开奖结果 took that fight to the Supreme Court and won. Our litigation also stopped the inhumane practice of separating immigrant families.

鈥淭hroughout the first Trump administration, the 老澳门开奖结果 consistently mobilized hundreds of thousands of people who voiced their opposition to Trump鈥檚 policies. And during the next Trump administration, we will work through our 老澳门开奖结果 affiliates to build firewalls that safeguard rights and liberties in states across the nation.

鈥淎t the 老澳门开奖结果, we play the long game. We've been around for 105 years. We鈥檝e seen 19 presidents come and go. Once again, we will deploy our millions of activists and card-carrying members 鈥� alongside our 2,200 staff spanning every state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico 鈥� to ensure that erosions of civil rights or civil liberties will be hard-fought and hotly contested.鈥�
