A Black former federal employee is suing the Trump administration, claiming he was fired because of his race.
Alvin Brown, a Democrat member of the National Transportation Safety Board nominated by President Biden, was fired from his post in May 2025. In his lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Tuesday, Brown said that political differences couldn’t have been the main reason for his firing from the NTSB. Brown’s lawyers, who work for the Democracy Forward Foundation, also claim that 75 percent of Black officials at independent agencies have been fired under Trump.
“Mr. Brown’s removal from the NTSB cannot be explained by the fact that Mr. Brown is a Democrat and President Trump might have wanted to exert Republican control over the Board,” the lawsuit states. “At the time of Mr. Brown’s removal from the NTSB, there were two other Democrats serving on the Board.”
Since Brown’s firing was racially motivated, the lawsuit alleges, it “therefore violated Mr. Brown’s constitutional rights under the Fifth Amendment,” the lawsuit states. The lawsuit also points to people of color being dismissed at agencies including the National Labor Relations Board, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Federal Reserve, and Library of Congress.
The lawsuit cited Trump’s attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, and the fact that Brown’s replacement, John DeLeeuw, is white.
“President Trump has removed Black Senate-confirmed appointees; he has either nominated a non-Black individual for their replacement or has not formally replaced them at all,” the lawsuit states. “This trend fits with President Trump’s consistent messaging criticizing diversity and inclusion and his clear and demonstrable emphasis.”
