The second judicial rejection of the program’s anti-white approach.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Wisconsin Judge William Griesbach
    ...a George W. Bush appointee...
    issued a temporary restraining order Thursday blocking the loan forgiveness program

  • Griesbach said the 'race-based criteria' is a violation of equal rights

  • Biden's $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan set aside $4 billion to the USDA for loan forgiveness for socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers

  • It would be used to pay up to 120% of direct or guaranteed farm loan balances for black, American Indian, Hispanic, Asian American or Pacific Islander farmers

  • It aimed to tackle longstanding inequalities for farmers of color who have long claimed they have been unfairly denied farm loans and government assistance

  • A group of 12 farmers from nine states filed a lawsuit against the USDA in April alleging it was a violation of their constitutional rights

  • The judge agreed, saying the program is too broad in its current form, and that it was trying to tackle one form of discrimination by imposing another
