    Illinois in the trenches again to protect fair housing

    Illinois has codified the disparate impact rule into state law to protect against housing discrimination, even as the Trump administration seeks to roll it back. The rule, initially established under Barack Obama and reinstated by Biden, allows enforcement against discriminatory practices without requiring proof of intent. The Fair Housing Act, influenced by Martin Luther King Jr.'s 1966 Chicago Freedom Movement, prohibits discrimination based on race, sex, and national origin.
