Trump Kills ‘Disparate Impact’ in Biggest Civil Rights Enforcement Rollback Ever
On April 23, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order titled "Restoring Equality of Opportunity and Meritocracy," effectively eliminating the federal government's use of disparate-impact liability in enforcing civil rights laws. This legal doctrine, established by the Supreme Court in Griggs v. Duke Power Co. (1971), allows courts to challenge policies that disproportionately harm protected groups, such as racial minorities, women, and the disabled, even without evidence of intentional discrimination. The executive order directs federal agencies to deprioritize enforcement of such regulations and calls for repealing parts of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, citing alleged conflicts with merit-based practices and constitutional protections.
