Immigrant rights groups ready to challenge President-elect Trump's policies

Immigrant-rights organizations from across the country are resolute on one thing: they will fight back against any of President-elect Donald Trump’s policies that target migrants.

Trump won the electoral college and the popular vote — the first time for a Republican since 2004. He made immigration a major part of his campaign, and he vowed to deport millions of immigrants who are in the country without authorization.

Trump is also expected to target the U.S.’s refugee resettlement program and has said he would end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are in the country illegally.

“We’ve been preparing — we have the legal tools, we have the advocacy tools and, more importantly, we have people,” said Maribel Hernández Rivera, the director of policy and government affairs for border and immigration at the ACLU. She called Trump’s proposals “cruel,” adding, “we are ready” to challenge Trump’s policies.

Hope somebody wins. Because Dictators don't listen. They dictate.

Why is Congress relevant in a dictatorship?

Trump will swear to uphold the Constitution then dismantle it. No one will oppose him. This is fruitless. He's got much of the court system, and SCOTUS.
