A former Trump adviser’s legal group filed a complaint against Macy’s for allegedly implementing a racially discriminatory diversity mandate, coming right before the company is slated to launch its Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City.

In a federal civil rights complaint, America First Legal wrote that “there are strong reasons to believe that Macy’s is intentionally and systemically violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by unlawfully conditioning hiring, promotion, training, and other functions on race, color, national origin, and/or sex.”
