A judge from the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas sided with Stephen Miller’s America First Legal (AFL) against the Biden Regime’s policy of discriminating against white business owners in the COVID relief plan. The Judge specifically filed a restraining order against the Small Business Administration (SBA) in defense of a Texas Restaurant owner who has not gotten relief from the SBA Restaurant Revitalization Fund (RRF), despite losing revenue during the pandemic.
The Biden Regime passed the American Rescue Plan Package earlier this year. Much of the financial aid allotted to small businesses within the spending bill prioritized minorities and nonwhites over white business owners. The Judge wrote in his statement that the “Defendants’ [the Biden Administration’s] use of race-based and sex-based preferences in the administration of the RRF violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.”
Stephen Miller, former Senior Adviser to President Donald Trump, and his America First Legal nonprofit said in a statement that “This ruling is the first, but crucial, step towards ending government-sponsored racial discrimination. We are proud to have obtained this order for our courageous client at this initial stage, but we have a long way to go.” The statement went on to explain the case further: “the government puts some owners at the back of the line for access to a limited pool of money based on their race. So we are presented with a simple but vital question: can the government reward or punish American citizens based upon the color of their skin or the ancestry of their families? We all know the answer.”
The decision is a crushing blow to the Biden Regime, as it tries to move ahead with a radical and anti-white agenda. Biden has capitulated to the radical left on ‘racial justice’ issues, which is why policies such as giving nonwhites preferential treatment went through. This latest ruling by the Northern District is a massive setback to such initiatives, because it sets a precedent for invalidating these policies going forward.

It’s sad that the Democrats promote racism
One small step for man....forget the giant part.
On December 14, 2018, O'Connor ruled that the Affordable Care Act was unconstitutional.
Many Lefty adult diapers were soiled that day, I can tell you!
Good. Maybe they will be less likely to try this kind of stuff in the future.
Only the voters can do that by sending the Rats packing (including the margin of fraud).
That’s the ultimate solution.
Rats may not care anything about the constitution, but they don’t like to be publicly embarrassed by courts telling them that they are violating the equal protection clause.
I think they will be more hesitant about open discrimination in the future.
“From each according to his ability to each according to his need.”
Demorats are in great need of a proper definition of “Justice”
But, but.........try to remember........Biden is so humane, moral and decent.
Biden only wanted to show how superior the government is, to remind us that the government is much much better than us horrid racists.
Good!
Part of their "end white supremacy" plan.
Note it was Stephen Miller’s group and not The GOP. The GOP could stop a lot of The Biden’s regime stuff in court if they wanted to.
The entire democrat party is racist.
The left will find a friendly court to appeal this ruling and overturn it. They never give up.
Texas sided with Stephen Miller's America First Legal (AFL) against the Biden Regime's policy of discriminating against white business owners in the COVID relief plan.
Promote it? They engage in it.
These folks are the real thing and have figured out the best way to fight the commies is to sue them, as they do us. They have many lawsuits in development. I'm glad to see they filed their first. Pres. Trump has endorsed them.
