Lawsuit filed against USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins for religious messages in employee emails
The National Federation of Federal Employees and seven USDA employees filed a federal lawsuit in California accusing Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins of violating the Establishment Clause by sending proselytizing emails invoking Jesus Christ and religious themes to staff. The complaint cites emails commemorating Christian holidays—Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter—where Rollins referenced a loving God, Jesus as a gift, and the resurrection story, while allegedly ignoring non-Christian holidays.
