The American Rescue Plan of President Joe Biden now faces controversy after a legal group founded by former Trump aide Stephen Miller has filed a lawsuit against the economic stimulus bill, citing that it discriminates against white farmers.

In a statement released on Wednesday, Stephen Miller, the architect of former President Donald's anti-immigration and child separation policies, said that legal action should be looked at.

Stephen Miller cited Martin Luther King Jr.'s (MLK) immortal words that Americans "should not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

The statement noted that the federal lawsuit was filed by America First Legal, which is the group that Stephen Miller founded alongside former Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, to challenge "the radical activist left." 

Stephen Miller also emphasized that the group will defend the vision of MLK, the Constitution order, and the civil rights of all citizens.

According to NBC News, the America First Legal filed the proposed class-action lawsuit on behalf of Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller in his capacity as a private citizen on Monday. 

The suit targets the around $5 billion budget for loan forgiveness for farmers and ranchers, who are socially disadvantaged, included in the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan signed by Biden last month.

The Case Filed by Stephen Miller's Group

The lawsuit alleged that the Department of Agriculture interpreted the phrase socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers incorrectly. 

Based on the lawsuit, the group argued that the Department only included African Americans, Hispanics, Asian-Americans, Native Americans, Alaskan natives, and Pacific Islanders. However, white farmers and ranchers are not included in the definition, making them ineligible for aid under the federal programs.

In addition, the suit claimed that the racial exclusions are "patently unconstitutional." It also argued that if the court would not agree on it being unconstitutional, then it should at least declare the phrase "socially disadvantage group" must be construed as a matter of statutory interpretation to include ethnic groups of all types subjected to ethnic and racial prejudice.

In a statement to NBC News, the Department of Agriculture said they are now reviewing the complaint and working with the Department of Justice.

The Department also promised to continue implementing the debt relief to qualified socially disadvantaged borrowers under the economic stimulus bill.

Last month, the White House mentioned that a portion of the American Rescue Plan would support farmers of colors with $4 billion toward debt relief for socially disadvantaged farmers to pay off burdensome debts, The Washington Post reported.

Tom Vilsack, the Agriculture Secretary, said that the money would address long-standing inequities. Last month, Vilsack mentioned that socially disadvantaged farmers have struggled in reaching success for generations due to systemic discrimination and a cycle of debt. 

Aside from the economic pain, farmers considered socially disadvantaged also deal with a disproportionate share of the effects of the coronavirus, The Daily Beast reported.
