DOJ uses its civil rights division to take aim at Chicago's diversity

The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division announced Monday that it is investigating the city of Chicago and its Mayor Brandon Johnson for allegedly discriminating against white people in forming his administration.

A letter signed by Civil Rights Division head Harmeet K. Dhillon cited Johnson’s Sunday appearance at the predominantly Black Apostolic Church of God. The mayor, who is Black, emphasized the importance of diversity in his administration,

“In your remarks made yesterday at the Apostolic Church of God in Woodlawn, you ‘highlight[ed] the number of Black officials in [your] administration,’” the letter reads, before listing several of the Black people in current city leadership.

Johnson’s remarks were in response to a question and he said the diversity was a positive step forward in a city where roughly one-third of the population is Black.

But ironically this attack will actually likely help his numbers.
