Behind closed doors, Trump’s agencies are engaged in a form of
deregulation that is as hard to detect as it is insidious. We call it
the “arbitration shell game,” and it works like this: First, a
corporation pushes its employees or customers into arbitration, limiting
their ability to sue. Then, federal agencies refuse to exercise their own enforcement authority because employees or customers “agreed” to
arbitrate. The result is that corporations operate free of
accountability, even when their actions affect thousands of people.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development acknowledged that a
Trump administration plan to purge undocumented immigrants from public
housing could displace more than 55,000 children, all of whom are legal
U.S. residents or citizens.
