Wanting to live in a crime-free neighborhood is racist and discriminatory against black people, according to the ACLU.

BREAKING: Today, we settled a lawsuit with the city of Faribault, Minnesota, over its unconstitutional and discriminatory housing rental ordinance.

"Crime-free" housing ordinances are tools of racial segregation, pure and simple.

As part of the settlement, the Faribault City Council will be overhauling its Crime-Free housing program.

The program encouraged landlords to bar housing applicants with any criminal record and allowed police to order evictions without due process.

These policies disproportionately hurt Black Minnesotans, who are more likely to be targeted by police and develop a criminal record due to systemic racism in the criminal legal system.

No one deserves to lose their home because of where they come from or what they look like.
