ACLU says it raised $10 million since Saturday - Polidicks

[quote]The American Civil Liberties Union says it has raised over $10 million since Saturday morning and gotten over 150,000 new members in what the group’s executive director calls an “unprecedented” response to President Trump’s executive order blocking entry into the United States from citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries. “I’ve never seen anything like this,” Anthony Romero, executive director of the civil liberties group, told Yahoo News in a telephone interview. “People are fired up and want to be engaged. What we’ve seen is an unprecedented public reaction to the challenges of the Trump administration.” Romero spoke the day after a federal judge in Brooklyn blocked parts of the Trump administration’s order following a hastily ordered hearing Saturday night. The judge, Ann Donnelly, concluded the ACLU and allied groups had a “strong likelihood of success” that they would prevail in an emergency complaint contending the Department of Homeland Security’s efforts to deport detainees who had already been granted visas to enter the country violated their due process and equal protection rights under the U.S. Constitution. The Trump administration is expected to appeal that ruling — and similar ones by judges in Washington State, Virginia and Massachusetts — to federal appellate courts, possibly in the next few days, setting up a legal battle that could end up fairly quickly before the Supreme Court. But Romero, whose group is spearheading the legal challenges, sees the public protests in response to the order as the harbinger of a new wave of resistance to the initiatives of the Trump administration. Hundreds of demonstrators showed up outside Donnelly’s courtroom in Brooklyn on Saturday night.[/quote] [URL="https://www.yahoo.com/news/aclu-says-it-raised-10-million-since-saturday-201828838.html"]Yahoo[/URL] [QUOTE=BlindSniper17;51748765]There's been even more in the time since. :smile: Currently, you are short by an extra $9 million.
