The U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Minnesota challenging the state’s requirement that all state agencies implement sex- and race-based affirmative action plans and consider “affirmative action goals on all staffing and personnel decisions.”

Minnesota’s affirmative action program directs agencies to engage in employment practices that “balance” the sex and race composition of its workforce with the civilian labor force.
