Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has asked a federal judge to stop a U.S. farm program from directing aid to racial and ethnic minorities, arguing that it discriminates against him and other white ranchers and farmers.
Miller s lawsuit, filed Monday in Fort Worth federal court, was the first legal challenge to Biden administration policies to be sponsored by America First Legal, recently founded by Stephen Miller and other top Trump administration officials as a conservative alternative to the American Civil Liberties Union. When it comes to financial aid, it shouldn t matter what race or ethnicity you are, Stephen Miller, a former top policy adviser to President Donald Trump, said on Sean Spicer s Newsmax show Monday.
