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*.

"Records obtained by ProPublica show the Trump administration is preparing to shut down seven major investigations of alleged housing discrimination and segregation, including some where HUD already found civil rights violations had occurred." - @ProPublica

Trump Administration Prepares to Drop Seven Major Housing Discrimination Cases

Federal housing officials spent years investigating cities from Chicago to Memphis to Corpus Christi for putting industrial plants and unwanted facilities in poor, nonwhite neighborhoods. Now, under Trump, the agency plans to drop the cases.

ProPublica

"The Federal Home Loan Bank has become a de facto piggy bank for private equity and insurance companies."

"There is no oversight over how these loans are used."

"It’s as if a corporate giant shows up to a food bank and takes all the supplies."

Just in case you need to understand why they want to gut #HUD and sell off the pieces, except #FHEO. They have buried that part after a big fire.

A #GOP wet dream is made real.
At #HUD #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump is ending the #FHEO law by cutting employees in the offices that enforce civil rights laws. Essentially, monitoring and enforcement of antidiscrimination housing laws will be eliminated. The same office that shut down #DonaldTrump business practice of #housing discrimination.

"HUD ::: political leadership ::: should immediately assign all delegated powers to; . . .
3. Repeal the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) regulation reinstituted under the Biden Administration & any other uses of special-purpose credit authorities to further equity."
Striking at the heart of oversight & enforcement of the Fair H Act 2 combat discrimination in housing.

#FHEO

So federal agencies, who are mostly subject experts, can no longer translate regulatory edict.
So #FHEO officials can no longer judge disparate treatment violations in attempts to enforce fair housing regulations? Not just #EPA but #DOJ #DOE #Chevron
#POTUS must expand #SCOTUS now. This court is where the disassembling of democracy is occurring. The #TrumpCourt is eating its own.
You might ask why isn't #HUD multi-family housing unit addressing this issue in tamdem with #HUDFHEO? They manage, review and monitor landlord policy and implementation. Local housing and CR orgs need to organize and target around this issue.
