The settlement approved by Judge Dana Sabraw between the DOJ and ACLU ends a seven-year legal challenge related to family separation, a matter he referred to as 'one of the most shameful chapters in the history of our country.' In a surprising move, the ACLU has agreed to represent the NRA in a Supreme Court case against a New York blacklist allegation. Despite the internal backlash due to the ACLU's opposition to the NRA's mission, the decision is defended by NRA President Charles Cotton, who stated that regulatory authority should not silence political speech. The ACLU acknowledges the real threat of gun violence, despite its decision to represent the NRA.
