Civil rights watchdog to begin two-year probe of Trump administration

The United States Commission on Civil Rights will launch a two-year probe into civil rights offices throughout President Trump’s administration to examine their ability to function.

The bipartisan federal watchdog voted unanimously to undertake a two-year investigation into the “degree to which current budgets and staffing levels allow civil rights offices to perform” in Trump’s administration.

In a statement, the commission expressed concerns that the Trump administration’s proposed budget cuts to civil rights offices across the federal governments “would result in a dangerous reduction of civil rights enforcement across the country, leaving communities of color, LGBT people, older people, people with disabilities, and other marginalized groups exposed to greater risk of discrimination.”
