The group in April <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/biden-administration\/biden-admin-and-aclu-gear-up-to-defend-trans-hormone-treatment-for-children\/\">said<\/a> it would use &#8220;the full force of the law&#8221; to allow children to undergo transgender hormone treatment. The ACLU is also a top advocate for the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em>\u00a0has <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/courts\/aclu-becomes-top-legal-defender-of-anti-semitic-bds-campaign\/\">reported<\/a>.
