In a sweeping regulatory shift, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has finalized a rule that dramatically narrows how discrimination can be penalized across billions of dollars in federal grants.
The decision strips the government of its ability to penalize funding recipients for policies that disproportionately harm minority groups—unless explicit discriminatory intent can be proven.
The final rule, signed by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and scheduled for publication in the Federal Register on June 22, officially eliminates “disparate-impact” liability under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for DHS and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It also completely deletes long-standing affirmative action provisions embedded within the agency’s grant frameworks.

There, fixed it.
MSN? Don’t trust their take on anything.

It removes the Obama concocted dubious legal theory of “disparate impact”.
Jackie Robinson played for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. His GRANDPARENTS slaves. Anyone alive today demanding “reparations” must be smoking crack. we are so far removed and we’ve had quasi reparations in the form of social policy for over 60 years now.
Good. Hardball
Disparate impact, I believe, came about long before Obammy
Great news-it appears that DHS actually paid attention to the SC ruling against affirmative action-it is just racism marketed as equality..
“Disparate impact, I believe, came about long before Obammy”
In academia yes, but it was Obama who brought it into EO directives he gave regulatory agencies and the DOJ as another means they could use to pursue “civil rights” cases. I remember when his first attempt at using it came up and the editorials about it at the time. It was a federal “housing discrimination” case in in 2009 in Yonkers & expanded to Westchester County New York - the disparate impact theory was applied in that case.
Ahh
