Democratic attorneys general in blue states are preparing legal actions to prevent Trump from carrying out mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. They are concerned about Trump’s plans to misuse military troops, commandeer state and local law enforcement, and deny due process. They are also preparing to challenge Trump’s attempts to federalize the National Guard and send immigration agents into schools and hospitals. Trump’s plans are on shaky legal ground and face opposition from both Democrats and some Republican lawmakers. State prosecutors are skeptical of Trump’s promises to take a targeted approach to deportations and are preparing for potential family separations and chaos in communities. They are also ready to push back against Trump’s attempts to withhold federal funding from states and cities with sanctuary policies. Democratic leaders are also using messaging campaigns to support immigrants and challenge Trump’s characterization of them as criminals.
