Sheetz racial discrimination case is on the chopping block as Trump rewrites civil rights

Federal authorities plan to drop a racial discrimination lawsuit against Sheetz, initiated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission following complaints by two job applicants, as part of a broader effort by President Donald Trump’s administration to halt a key civil rights enforcement tool.
The EEOC intends to file a motion to dismiss the Sheetz lawsuit, following Trump's executive order that deprioritizes disparate impact liability in civil rights enforcement and aims to consolidate control over agencies like the EEOC.
Trump's executive order emphasizes that it is the policy of the United States to eliminate the use of disparate-impact liability in all contexts to the maximum degree possible, affecting civil rights enforcement globally.
The Justice Department and other federal agencies are acting swiftly to limit the use of disparate impact liability, which has implications for workplace anti-discrimination efforts.
