Trump Takes Aim at Evanston Over Its Reparations Program
A small suburb outside Chicago figured out how to pay reparations, and now the feds are rushing in to pull the plug before anyone else gets funny ideas.
Evanston made history by becoming the very first municipality in the country to actually compensate Black residents for decades of discriminatory housing practices. They handed out housing grants, residents repaired their homes, and city halls across the map started taking notes.
That was apparently too much initiative. The Department of Justice stepped in, pushing to dismantle the local program in court before other cities copy the playbook.
The fear in the capital clearly isn't that local reparations fail, but that they actually work.
