In one email, a #Trump appointee at the Department of Housing & Urban Development [#HUD] described decades of #housing #discrimination cases as “artificial, arbitrary & unnecessary.”In another, a career supervisor in the department’s Office of #FairHousing & #EqualOpportunity [#FHEO] objected to lawyers being reassigned to other offices; the supervisor was fired 6 days later for *insubordination*.#law #Aporophobia #EconomicDiscrimination #plutocracy #USpol

In a third, the office’s director of enforcement warned that #Trump appointees were using gag orders & #intimidation to block #discrimination cases from moving forward. The urgent message was sent to a US senator, who is referring it to the department’s acting inspector general for investigation.#law #Aporophobia #EconomicDiscrimination #plutocracy #USpol

The emails are among dozens of pages of internal communications, memos and other documents reviewed by The New York Times that show efforts by the #Trump administration to limit enforcement of the #FairHousing Act, the landmark #CivilRights law that has prohibited #discrimination in housing for nearly six decades.#law #heterosexism #racism #Aporophobia #EconomicDiscrimination #plutocracy #USpol

In interviews, half a dozen current & former employees of #HUD’s #FairHousing office said that the #Trump political appointees had made it nearly impossible for them to do their jobs, which involve investigating & prosecuting landlords, real estate agents, lenders & others who discriminate based on race, religion, gender, family status or disability.#law #heterosexism #racism #ableism #WhiteChristianNationalism #Aporophobia #EconomicDiscrimination #plutocracy #USpol

Several lawyers said they had been blocked from communicating with clients without approval from a #Trump appointee, & had been barred from citing some past #housing #CivilRights cases when researching #legal #precedent for possible new prosecutions.One internal memo from a top Trump appointee in the office said that archival documents that were “contrary to administration policy” would be removed or replaced, & that “tenuous theories of #discrimination” would no longer be pursued.

@Nonilex Trump's first known brush with the law was in 1973, when he was 27 years old. The DOJ sued him and his father for violation of the Fair Housing Act for bias against Blacks. After contersuing unsuccessfully, the trumps settled but did not admit guilt. Seems to me that he now has a chance to settle an old score and will eliminate fair housing if he can. It's all personal with trump.
