Justice Department Announces Fair Lending Initiative

The video discusses a new initiative to ensure fair access to credit, targeting the discriminatory practice of redlining, which historically denied loans to minority communities. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced efforts to address modern-day redlining through partnerships with banks and regulators. These efforts have already led to significant outcomes, such as a settlement with Trustmark National Bank for avoiding loans in minority neighborhoods.
