The ACLU, like any other litigant who sues for violations of civil rights laws, only gets attorney's fees if they prevail.
The alternative would be for persons to violate civil rights and get away with it because litigants could not not afford to litigate.

Except the taxpayers do not get reimbursed if the ACLU is defeated in one of their lawsuits of adventure.
