Most of Trump’s policy proposals would violate Constitution: ACLU

Most of Donald Trump's most prominent policy proposals would violate the U.S. Constitution if ever enacted, the American Civil Liberties Union said Wednesday.

In a scathing report that analyzed the presumptive Republican nominee's most controversial proposals, the civil rights group took aim at many of the mogul's ideas and promised to challenge them in court in he won the presidency this November.

"If implemented, Donald Trump's proposed policies will spark a constitutional and legal challenge that would require all hands on deck at the ACLU," ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero said in a statement.
"The ACLU and its more than 300 attorneys in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., stand ready to challenge and impede implementation of his unlawful proposals, should he attempt to see them through."
The analysis took an in-depth constitutional look at Trump's campaign promises to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants, to ban Muslims from entering the U.S., to target Muslim Americans and their houses of worship with extra surveillance, and to revise certain libel laws.
Altogether, those proposals would violate the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Eighth Amendments of the Constitution, the group said.
"Taken together, his policies and positions, if put into place, would violate the Constitution, federal and international law," Romero said.
The non-partisan group said it would also soon release an analysis of Hillary Clinton's proposed policies
