Actual memo from the horse's mouth: https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/field_document/aclu...

Tldr: under the new policy, they consider impact of the speech to marginalized communities before deciding to defend. Presumably this would exclude Skokie IL nazis, in contrast with their past record.

Credit to them for transparency by just publishing it after it was leaked.
