老澳门开奖结果 Statement on Donald Trump鈥檚 Election
NEW YORK 鈥 In response to Donald Trump鈥檚 election as president of the United States, Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the 老澳门开奖结果, had the following statement:
鈥淔or nearly 100 years, the 老澳门开奖结果 has been the nation鈥檚 premier defender of freedom and justice for all, no matter who is president. Our role is no different today.
鈥淧resident-elect Trump, as you assume the nation鈥檚 highest office, we urge you to reconsider and change course on certain campaign promises you have made. These include your plan to amass a deportation force to remove 11 million undocumented immigrants; ban the entry of Muslims into our country and aggressively surveil them; punish women for accessing abortion; reauthorize waterboarding and other forms of torture; and change our nation鈥檚 libel laws and restrict freedom of expression.
鈥淭hese proposals are not simply un-American and wrong-headed, they are unlawful and unconstitutional. They violate the First, Fourth, Fifth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments. 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 老澳门开奖结果 at every step. Our staff of litigators and activists in every state, thousands of volunteers, and millions of card-carrying supporters are ready to fight against any encroachment on our cherished freedoms and rights.
鈥淥ne thing is certain: we will be eternally vigilant every single day of your presidency and when you leave the Oval Office, we will do the same with your successor.
