The Justice department backed by the Trump White House stand on the brink of one of the most significant shifts in Cvil Rights Act, as the former seeks approval for changed in the enforcement of the of Title VI, New York Times reports. According to a draft proposal to amend the regulations presented by The New York Times, the department has asked for certain amendments in the rule that will eliminate references to policies and practices having “the effect of” subjecting individuals to discrimination.

“Under the change, the department would continue to narrowly enforce the law’s protections in cases where it could prove intentional discrimination, but no longer in instances where a policy or practice at issue had a “disparate impact” on minority or other groups,” Katie Benner and Erica Green wrote in the NY Times on Wednesday.

The report says that the Trump office, in its last bid to drop concession bombs on the minorities, is set to pass the Justice Department’s bid like it did on government diversity training. It further adds that the DOJ ‘quietly submitted’ the he changes to the Trump House, knowing that an amendment now would be difficult for the Biden administration to overturn. This ruling has been made Attorney General William P. Barr’s final act, the language not being available for public. However, progressive legal groups are likely to challenge it, setting up a potential review by a Supreme Court with a conservative majority seen as hostile to civil rights protections, New York Times said.

“The regulation and explanation are exceedingly sparse, and it shows the dangers of rule-making without following the legally required process, including opportunities for public comment,” Lauren Sampson, a staff attorney at Lawyers for Civil Rights was quoted.
