Democrats Encourage Pete Buttigieg to Name” Racial Traffic Police.”

Democrats in the House are pressuring Pete Buttigieg, the travelling secretary, to name” racist traffic enforcement.”

A group of 27 House Democrats on Thursday wrote a letter to Buttigieg, calling for funding from the 2021 Infrastructure Investments and Jobs Act to “move our nation closer to transit equity,” Fox News reported.

The lawmakers’ letter urged Buttigieg, who has previously taken steps to advance” equity” in transportation, to denounce” harmful” traffic enforcement practices and implement changes to” reduce racial inequities in traffic stops.”

Democrats who signed the letter included far-left” Squad” customers Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts. Cori Bush( Mo. ) Jamaal Bowman( N. ) Y. as well as Ilhan Omar( Minn. ). The letter called for” upgrading traffic lights and removing financial impediments to ride registration.”

The representatives stated that” traffic safety should not be sacrificed at the expense of the integrity and security of Black place.”

The 2021 infrastructure deal, designed to “rebuild America’s roads, bridges and rails,” also invested significantly to “tackle the climate crisis” and “advance environmental justice.”

In June, Buttigieg launched a $1 billion project under the 2021 infrastructure act to “build racial equity in roads” by connecting historically segregated cities.

After it took Buttigieg three weeks to visit East Palestine, Ohio, following the train crash that resulted in an environmental disaster in the town, a poll revealed that 51 percent of American voters want the secretary out of the job.
