American Civil Liberties Union
Description
American Civil Liberties Union; national civil-liberties organization that has litigated against several second-term Trump administration actions
Background
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), founded in 1920, is a national nonprofit that litigates and advocates on civil liberties and constitutional rights. It has been a frequent litigant against second-term Trump administration policies, including suits over the federalized National Guard deployment in Los Angeles, the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelan nationals, and immigration stops it alleged were based on racial profiling, and it characterized the pressure on broadcasters over Jimmy Kimmel as unconstitutional jawboning.
