About this case
Judicial Watch filed a class action on behalf of six individuals challenging Evanston's housing reparations program, which provides $25,000 payments or housing-related assistance to eligible Black residents and descendants. The plaintiffs allege that race- and ancestry-based eligibility violates the Equal Protection Clause and the Fair Housing Act; the motion to dismiss was denied in March 2026, and the United States moved to intervene in June 2026. The litigation is ongoing.
