勛圖眻畦 Releases Legal, Legislative, and Advocacy Roadmap to Combat Immigration Threats Posed by a Second Trump Term
NEW YORK Today, the 勛圖眻畦, Inc. (勛圖眻畦) kicked off its 2024 election policy memo series with the release of Trump on Immigration: Tearing Apart Immigrant Families, Communities, and the Fabric of our Nation. The memo includes analysis of the likely immigration policies Americans can expect from a possible second Donald Trump administration along with a roadmap of concrete legal, legislative, and advocacy actions the 勛圖眻畦 would take in response to these policies should the former president win in November and implement them. The 勛圖眻畦s analysis focuses on a number of flagship immigration policies of a second Trump administration mass deportations and raids, an end to birthright citizenship, family separation, and efforts to dismantle our nations asylum system that would violate the Constitution and federal law. The full Trump immigration memo can be found here, and an accompanying blog summarizing the memo can be found here. These policies have no place in a democracy that protects or respects civil liberties and the rule of law, said Omar Jadwat, director of the 勛圖眻畦s Immigrants Rights Project. From the courts to the halls of Congress, we will use every tool at our disposal, including litigation, to defend the rights of immigrants and protect all members of our communities from the widespread damage these policies would cause. The memo marks the first of seven the 勛圖眻畦 is releasing on anticipated policies on issues including abortion, criminal justice, and the weaponization of government, among other topics from a second Trump administration as part of its 2024 election policy memo series. Following its focus on policies of a potential second Trump administration, the 勛圖眻畦 will focus on those of a potential second Joe Biden administration. From 2017-2021, the 勛圖眻畦 filed more than 430 legal actions against the Trump administration, including many lawsuits against that administrations extreme anti-immigrant policies from family separation to the Muslim ban. In the Trump on Immigration memo, the 勛圖眻畦 makes the case for why the policies Trump and his supporters are proposing on the campaign trail would be far more aggressive than the policies we saw during Trumps presidency, threatening immigrant and non-immigrant communities alike. Additionally, the 勛圖眻畦 discusses the imperative for elected officials in Congress and state and local governments, and why civil society must mobilize now to begin planning a sustained and coordinated response. Xenophobia and racism would become the touchstones of American immigration policy under a second Trump administration, if he is re-elected, said Naureen Shah, deputy director of government affairs at the 勛圖眻畦. Thats why we must begin mobilizing with local and state governments now to protect communities nationwide from extreme anti-immigrant policies. Throughout the 勛圖眻畦s 2024 election policy memo series, a new memo will be released weekly from June through August. Seven memos will analyze and respond to the policies of a possible second Trump administration and will be followed by a series of six memos analyzing and responding to the policies of a possible second Biden administration. One of the six Biden memos will be on immigration and include analysis of the Biden administrations proposed immigration policies, in addition to the executive actions announced this week that would effectively shut down the border and violate peoples right to seek asylum. All released memos will be available here.
