As if we didn't need yet another government agency in this age of behemoth federal spending, the Biden administration has saddled the U.S. with a new one, the Office of Environmental Justice. The $1.4 million monstrosity will be buried within the U.S. Department of Justice under the authority of U.S. associate attorney general, Vanita Gupta, who set up the new bureaucracy-enforcer arm. It will be headed by one Cynthia M. Ferguson, whose title is acting director. And you can bet it's going to be a problem.

The Justice Department is launching a new Office of Environmental Justice, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced on Thursday, which will seek to redress health risks from climate change faced by minorities and low-income people in the United States.
“Although violations of our environmental laws can happen anywhere, communities of color, indigenous communities, and low-income communities often bear the brunt of the harm caused by environmental crime, pollution, and climate change,” Garland said at a news conference on Thursday.
“For far too long, these communities have faced barriers to accessing the justice they deserve,” Garland said, adding that the Justice Department “will prioritize the cases that will have the greatest impact on the communities most overburdened by environmental harm.”

Normal Democrat operation is that the bureaucrats come up with their left wing wacko plans and the President says “Great Idea but it will lose us the next election, so No!” This President says “Whatever you say. I am going home for the weekend.”

I wonder what’s next.
Remember to buy an oceanfront mansion second home for environmental justice.

Just another way of taking money from those who earn it and giving it to the ungrateful, unproductive recipients.
There is not a single post Mushbrain has filled which is not held by some sort of freak or pervert. Gay, trans, America-hating black, America-hating Hispanic, antisemite—you name it, this collection has a representative. How sick is that?
Attorney General Merrick Garland has been a disappointment.
