On February 15, 2018 the ACLU urged the Senate to vote NO on Amendment 1959, the SECURE and SUCCEED Act. The SECURE and SUCCEED Act goes far beyond the White House immigration framework. It includes the Trump administration’s mass deportation and border wish list, but couples it with deeply troubling surveillance and profiling of entire communities. The Act creates a legislative framework to target vulnerable populations at the expense of the Constitution and the values upon which this country was founded.
