Justice Department opens civil rights investigation into New York coffee chain that banned pro-Israel lawmaker Dan Goldman.
Poetica Coffee, a small chain in Brooklyn and the East Village, posted on social media that Representative Dan Goldman was not welcome due to his support for Israel, refunding his purchase and calling him a 'genocide enabler.' Harmeet K. Dhillon, the head of the DOJ Civil Rights Division, announced an investigation, stating the actions were 'potentially illegal.' Goldman said he did not believe the shop should be investigated, preferring resources focus on antisemitism against those without platforms.
