Civil rights watchdog threatens to use USDA for continuing to discriminate against white farmers

A civil rights watchdog has threatened to use the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) for continuing to discriminate against white farmers despite the new secretary rescinding some of the agency’s diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives a

The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) said it might take legal action against USDA Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins over the matter as new whistleblower allegations come to light 

According to the Washington Examiner, whistleblowers have accused the agency of providing loan relief under former President Joe Biden based on race.

“We appreciate the Trump Administration’s strong stance against DEI, but Secretary Rollins must take the discrimination at USDA much more seriously,” WILL’s managing vice president and deputy counsel Dan Lennington said in a statement. “If she doesn’t, we will hold her accountable very soon in federal court. She has received fair warning from WILL and Congress.”
