Trump Cuts Funding for Minority Business Centers Amid MBDA Dismantling

The Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) is facing a potential shutdown amidst a surge of anti-DEI lawsuits from conservative factions. Established by Nixon in 1969, the MBDA supports minority enterprises. Recently, three white entrepreneurs sued, claiming racial discrimination for not accessing agency aid. Their grievances question the agency's legality, reflecting a broader shift in corporate DEI commitments post-Great Floyd's murder. This scrutiny has prompted companies like JPMorgan Chase to reassess their DEI practices. A ruling on the MBDA's constitutionality is forthcoming.
