COLOR OF CHANGE DENOUNCES TRUMP’S TARGETING OF NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY LETITIA JAMES AS POLITICAL RETALIATION
NATIONAL – This week, the Trump administration escalated its ongoing political attacks by referring New York Attorney General Letitia James for criminal prosecution on baseless allegations of mortgage fraud.
In response, Portia Allen-Kyle, Interim Executive Director of Color Of Change, issued the following statement:
“When Black women hold people in power accountable, we are normally the first target for retribution and harassment. Unsurprisingly, the Trump administration is going after New York Attorney General Letitia James. Leaders who challenge corruption and defend our freedoms must continue to hold the administration accountable for its dangerous abuses of power. We remain committed to defending those who fight for the rights and dignity of Black communities, and we stand with Attorney James amidst this egregious retaliation.”
