Trump moves to repeal disparate impact liability, a key civil rights tenet

Now, civil rights groups are already vowing to fight back against Trump’s latest order.

Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women’s Law Center, accused the White House of trying to roll back decades of protection in an effort “to clear a path for a government ruled not by and for the people, but by and for one man.”

“This order is part of Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to dismantle our freedoms and roll back our rights,” Graves said in a statement. “He hates that civil rights laws give us the power to stand up to bullies like him.”
