The Trump administration has been accused of discriminating against white dairy farmers by using “racial and sex-based classifications” to prevent “white males” from obtaining access to certain loan and grant programs, according to a new lawsuit.

The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty (WILL), a conservative nonprofit law firm, filed a complaint Monday in federal court, seeking injunctive relief to prevent the government from “applying racial and sex-based classifications” when selecting candidates for financial assistance programs, including the Loan Guarantee Program, the Dairy Margin Coverage (DMC) Program, and the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP).

“These three are not the only ongoing programs at USDA that discriminate based on race and sex. Up to two dozen other discriminatory programs are ongoing and identified,” allege lawyers for dairy farmer Adam Faust, who successfully sued the Biden administration in 2021 for race discrimination related to USDA’s Farmer Loan Forgiveness Plan, in the complaint.

“Farmers, like all other Americans, deserve to be assessed as individuals, not as statistics or as means toward achieving some quota, preference, or balancing based on race or sex,” Faust’s team says. “Unfortunately, this is not new.”

According to WILL, Faust is a “white male dairy farmer” from Calumet County, near Chilton, which is about 75 miles north of Milwaukee. “He is a double amputee who milks 70 Holstein cows and farms 200 acres to feed these cows,” the complaint says.

Faust is suing Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and the USDA, saying they failed to respond to written correspondence sent by WILL and Faust related to demands they had. His complaint notes how President Donald Trump issued executive orders this year “prohibiting the discrimination present in these three programs,” but Rollins and the USDA have “failed to end” discriminatory and allegedly illegal “preferences, mandates, policies, programs” in both the private and public sectors, according to Faust’s attorneys.

“On April 8, 2025, Mr. Faust wrote a letter to Secretary Rollins warning her of this issue and threatening litigation,” the complaint alleges. “Six congressmen wrote a letter as well, reiterating the unconstitutionality of these discriminatory programs. Mr. Faust has received no response from Secretary Rollins.”
