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.
