We just sued the Trump regime over another element of its illegal immigration
“policy.”

By the way, this is the 32nd lawsuit Public Citizen has filed against the
administration since Donald Trump returned to power.

The Trump regime is waging a campaign of terror against people in America who
are from — or who look or sound like they could be from — another country.

With its lawless crackdown, the Trump administration does not seem to care about
whether someone is here legally, whether someone is following the rules for
refugees and asylum seekers, or even whether someone is a U.S. citizen.

What the Trump regime does seem to care about is the color of someone’s skin.

And — apparently — the size of their bank account:

* In 1990, Congress passed a law that sets aside a limited number of visas
(official permission to live and work here) for people with “extraordinary”
or “exceptional” abilities in areas like science, arts, business, and sports.

* These are sometimes called “Einstein visas” — in reference to the renowned
physicist Albert Einstein — to highlight the type of person who is eligible.

* But the Trump administration — in flagrant violation of that law — has
launched a program that lets people buy these visas with a “gift” of
$1,000,000 to the U.S. government.

* The administration is calling it the “Trump Gold Card.”

* To recap, the Trump regime will act illegally and immorally to expel
immigrants from this country. But if you can give Trump’s government a
million dollars, the regime will welcome you with open arms (or at least open
pockets).

Our lawsuit calls out this perversion of immigration law and asks a federal
court to declare it illegal.

As noted above, this is the 32nd lawsuit Public Citizen has filed against the
administration since Donald Trump returned to power.

Are these lawsuits alone enough to fully defeat Trump and MAGA? Of course not.
But are they a meaningful part of the pushback that is the only chance we have
to collectively save our country? No doubt about it.

What you and Public Citizen are doing together matters. What hundreds of other
organizations, big and small, are doing matters. What millions upon millions of
our fellow Americans are doing matters. We believe that to our core. We take
solace in that. And we draw inspiration from that. We hope you do, too.
