(TheLastPatriotNews.com) – Following several years of inefficiency and damage within the White House, a federal judge has issued a permanent injunction against the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) and claimed its prioritization of specific racial groups is unconstitutional.
The MBDA, which is part of the U.S. Department of Commerce and was permanently established by Joe Biden, focuses on the growth and global competitiveness of minority businesses.
U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman, appointed by Trump, declared the agency’s mission violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution following a complaint by the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL).
Pittman wrote in the court order, “While the Agency may intend to serve listed groups, not punish unlisted groups, the very design of its presumption punishes those who are not presumptively entitled to MBDA benefits. The federal government may not flagrantly violate such rights with impunity. The MBDA has done so for years. Time’s up.”
According to the court order, the MBDA “can still operate its Business Centers, it must simply do so without vetting applicants based on race.”
The 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, advocated by Biden, codified the MBDA into statute, which expended its scope, as noted in a White House press release.
The MBDA aims to enhance minority access to capital, contracts, and markets, as per its website.
WILL President Rick Esenberg, said in a press release that “The federal government created a discriminatory agency that persisted for decades. The Biden Administration re-invigorated it and then refused to help millions of businesses based on race.
“Those days are now over. Equality must be the law of the land, and through the bravery and persistence of our clients, we are closer to fulfilling that dream,” he finalized.
