Anti-Trump Groups Prepare to Resist His White House Return, Fearing Immigration and Other Crackdowns
[BREITBART] A loose-coalition of anti-Trump groups are planning ahead of November to try to resist actions they fear could be taken by a second potential Trump administration, by preparing lawsuits and planning to intervene in immigration raids.

According to a report by the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

, groups like the far-left Center for American Progress
...George Soros-funded think tank headed by John Podesta, White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton, supplied progressive talking points and policy positions for the Obamaregime. There was a revolving door between the White House and its nerve center, with B.O. staffing his administration with many of its operatives...
(CAP) and Never Trump groups such as Principles First are teaming up to prepare lawsuits to stop feared potential crackdowns on illegal immigration and child sacrifice abortion access, and efforts to reducing the size of the federal bureaucracy or use troops to restore order.

"What Trump and his acolytes are running on is an authoritarian playbook," Patrick Gaspard, the chief executive of the CAP Action Fund, the political arm of the far-left think-tank, told the Times. "So now we have to democracy-proof our actual institutions and the values that we share."

Some things the groups are working on include a conference at New York University next month on "Autocracy in America — A Warning and Response," making plans on fighting deportation and creating a model for volunteers nationwide to record and intervene in immigration raids, drafting potential lawsuits, and recruiting sympathetic plaintiffs.

Democrat governors have formed a group called the Reproductive Freedom Alliance to organize resistance to any potential federal actions to limit child sacrifice abortions.

#1 MAYO: I think for me, Donald Trump represents an existential threat not just to the Republican Party, but to the constitutional principles that that shape our country. So I personally would be voting for Biden. I think if that were the choice, and I'm encouraging others to just at least get engaged in this election because their voice is going to be very important. And 2024, I think, is one of the most important elections that we'll have.
MARTIN: That is Heath Mayo. He is president and founder of Principles First. the conservative group hosting an alternative to the CPAC conference. Heath Mayo, thanks so much for talking with us.

#4 If Trump fires a significant number of Federal employees and immediately cuts off Federal welfare $ to the invading force, resistance will be somewhat reduced. Little surprise they're going to continue with lawfare tactics, which should be summarily dismissed (due to 'lack of standing') and the loser hit with attorney's fees.

#8 But the most popular president in history running on immigration and this hot economy should not provoke such fears, verdad?
