Justice Department abandoning cases alleging discriminatory police and firefighter hiring

The Department of Justice has dismissed Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion lawsuits against police and fire departments, stating there was no evidence of intentional discrimination, only statistical disparities in hiring tests.
Cases included one against the City of Durham, which claimed unintentional discrimination against Black applicants who passed the written test less frequently than White candidates.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated that American communities deserve first responders chosen for their skills rather than to meet DEI quotas.
The dismissal marks a step toward eradicating illegal DEI preferences in government and the private sector, as noted by the DOJ.
