ICYMI: IN RESPONSE TO AFL LAWSUIT, BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ABANDONS ITS UNCONSTITUTIONAL RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN DISTRIBUTION OF RESTAURANT REVITALIZATION FUND 

WASHINGTON, DC – Following litigation, the Small Business Administration halted its unconstitutional practice of applying racial preferences and exclusions when awarding relief under the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. The New York Times published an article yesterday highlighting the issue.

Excerpt from The New York Times article: 

Conservative groups backed their suits. The Texas case was brought by America First Legal, a group run by Stephen Miller, a former adviser to President Donald J. Trump, and three other Trump administration officials.

“The Biden administration has inflicted needless pain and suffering on countless Americans through its deplorable and unconstitutional scheme that sent restaurant owners — on the basis of their race — to the back of the line for a limited pool of funds,” Mr. Miller said in a statement. 

Read AFL President Stephen Miller’s full statement:

“The Biden administration has inflicted needless pain and suffering on countless Americans through its deplorable and unconstitutional scheme that sent restaurant owners — on the basis of their race — to the back of the line for a limited pool of funds,” Mr. Miller said. “This illegal program sowed chaos, confusion, and heartache among restaurant owners across the country. AFL is immensely proud of its vital work to stop this insidious and lawless attack on civil rights — and to fight for policies that judge Americans based on objective qualifications, and never based on their skin color. This is also a warning to the Biden Administration: if you pursue government-sponsored racism in any area, then you will go to court.”
