The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights Expresses Concern
Regarding Federal Civil Rights Enforcement Efficacy and Priorities
The Commission, by majority vote, expresses concern with the Administration’s
proposed budget cuts to and planned staff losses in numerous programs and civil rights
offices across the federal government that enforce our nation’s federal civil rights laws.
Along with changing programmatic priorities, these proposed cuts would result in a
dangerous reduction of civil rights enforcement across the country, leaving communities
of color, LGBT people, older people, people with disabilities, and other marginalized
groups exposed to greater risk of discrimination.
The Commission unanimously approved a comprehensive two-year assessment of
federal civil rights enforcement, which will conclude in Fiscal Year 2019. The review will
examine the degree to which current budgets and staffing levels allow civil rights offices
to perform their statutory and regulatory functions, the management practices in place
in the offices and whether these practices are sufficient to meet the volume of civil rights
issues within the offices’ jurisdiction, and the efficacy of recent resolution efforts from
the offices. ​

This seems more like oversight rather than investigating crimes already committed but I am glad they aren't going to wait for the bodies to stack up first. I am sure Trump will try to fire them tomorrow.

Conservatives firmly believe we need to shrink the size of the federal govt back to what it was in the era of Jim Crow. It's the only way he can make a comeback.

Hah. They want to shrink the government small enough to ram up the reproductive tract of every woman in the country, that's what they want.
