The A.C.L.U. v. Trump 2.0

You bet. We just took the NRA case a year ago. The NRA came to us saying, saying, you're the best litigation organization on free speech.

And we saw it as a free speech issue, and we brought that case and won 9-0.

I think the biggest victories had to do with family separation, when we were able to stop them in their tracks on separating families as a deterrent to people coming to this country.

And it was a moment when we were able to use both the courts and public opinion to kind of put pressure on the Trump administration. Ultimately, rescinding their own kind of policy guidance or zero tolerance guidance on this one.
