DOJ Shifts Enforcement Priorities Amid Rising Controversies

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has announced a set of new enforcement priorities, emphasizing a focus on denaturalization cases and civil rights violations. This decision comes as the DOJ plans to aggressively target false claims related to civil rights and gender-affirming care under the False Claims Act (FCA). Legal expectations surrounding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs are shifting, leading to concerns among various sectors, particularly banks, about potential legal repercussions. The new direction highlights a commitment to uphold administration policies while addressing scrutiny around DEI initiatives and their alignment with federal regulations.
