From the report:

Obama's team viewed Kennedy as a strong candidate for EPA Administrator, a Cabinet role vital to enforcing environmental laws.

Please cite examples of "black people permanently losing the right to vote for a heroin conviction".

State and federal laws make heroin possession a felony. In ten states the right to vote is never restored even if the sentence was served.
  • In 10 states, voting rights are not automatically restored to people convicted of a felony. However, the governor may opt to restore an individual's voting rights by pardon on a case-by-case basis. This tally includes Arizona, where voting rights are automatically restored for people with one felony conviction, but government action is required to restore voting rights for people with two or more felony convictions. Virginia is also included here. In 2023, Governor Glenn Youngkin's (R) administration announced that he would not continue the policy of automatically restoring voting rights for people convicted of a felony that previous governors used their powers to enact.
The ten states: Alabama, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia and Wyoming.

Surely you don't think the white guy from a rich MA family will get the same sentence as the poor black guy in MS, do you?
 
The Trump Administration said:
"After two years, the matter settled with a consent decree, signed June 10, 1975. It included the ordinary disclaimer of liability (the settlement was “in no way an admission” of a violation)..."

Wonder why they needed a consent decree if they were innocent of all allegations?

"The Justice Department called the decree “one of the most far-reaching ever negotiated.” Newspaper headlines echoed that assessment. The New York Amsterdam News, for example, titled its article “Minorities win housing suit,” and told readers that “qualified Blacks and Puerto Ricans now have the opportunity to rent apartments owned by Trump Management.”

Cheaper to settle. Faster, too.

Unfortunately for you, there was no finding of any wrongdoing. :tongout:

Oh?

"Also in the documents were records from the New York State Division of Human Rights and the NYC Human Rights Commission complaints and hearings about discrimination at Trump properties. The complaints were mooted when the company offered the complaining parties apartments in their properties. A 1968 hearing of the NYC Human Rights Commission, however, found that discrimination had occurred at a Trump property. The commission ordered the company to cease and desist from their discriminatory practices, pay damages to the complainant, and inform a fair housing organization whenever apartments at the property became available."
