8:01Now PlayingAlvin Brown — former Mayor of Jacksonville and the only Black member of the National Transportation Safety Board — was fired by Donald Trump with a three-sentence email in May 2025. No cause. No explanation. Just gone. Now he's suing, and the amended complaint filed by Democracy Forward and Ben Crump's firm reveals a staggering pattern: 75% of Black officials at independent federal agencies have been fired under Trump, compared to just 27% of their white counterparts. This isn't a personnel decision. This is a systematic purge. And it just landed in federal court.
