This is such a moment that the level of coordination among different organizations has been nothing like I've seen in my 24 years as head of the ACLU. It is brilliant. They say they're shock and awing us. I am shocked and awed at the level of coordination, of goodwill, of sharing of resources, of passing the baton so that we can all run this relay. And so this is not just an ACLU battle.

This is really a whole ecosystem of nonprofit organizations, of lawyers who are going to hold the government's feet to the fire.

Well, we've got to take it every day. You don't give up an inch. Everything they try to accomplish, we must make them fight for, right? Every step of the way. That's why the capitulation of these law firms and of some of these universities was so disheartening to me. Those were moments where I just said, damn. I mean, you cannot give that up without a fight.

You've got to make sure if they're going to grab more ground, every inch they have to battle us for. And that's why I am really proud on our lawyers on the Alien Enemies Act case. This is the case on behalf of the Venezuelans who they want to kind of move out of the country. Some of them they moved, some of them they were not able to.

and say that they have invoked the 1798 statute, the Alien Enemies Act statute, to say that they have the ability to deny people due process and remove them to third-party countries. I mean, it is incredible to me. We've had the lawyers pull all-nighters.

You know, when the Supreme Court said, well, now you have to file habeas petitions in each of the different jurisdictions, most of the people would have said, We got up and did it, right? So we started filing habeas after habeas in every single one of these district courts. We will do that.

And then they're saying, oh, no, now we need to kind of have a more better knowledge around the due process or the notice requirements. We are tracking it then. And part of what we need to do collectively is not surrender an inch without a pitched battle. Make them fight for every little success. Because that is what we're here for.

And when they try to intimidate us, which they're trying to do now, there's all these rumors around executive orders that are going to come down. They're going to come down on environmental groups or immigrants groups or democracy groups. We don't know. We'll have to wait and see.
