U.S. District Judge William Griesbach issued the temporary restraining order after a group of white farmers filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), claiming unconstitutional race discrimination in the American Rescue Plan Act's (ARPA) provisions that offer loan forgiveness based on racial categories.
"Plaintiffs are excluded from the program based on their race and are thus experiencing discrimination at the hands of their government," Griesbach wrote in the opinion, noting that the twelve farmers and ranchers who sued "have established a strong likelihood that Section 1005 of the ARPA is unconstitutional."
