The Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) is suing the State of Tennessee over a law classifying prostitution by individuals who knowingly have human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as committing ‘aggravated prostitution’ — a felony offense — claiming it violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Individuals charged with the ‘aggravated prostitution’ felony are required to register with the Tennessee Sex Offender Registry.
According to the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, the Tennessee law and its enforcement are discriminatory. The DOJ alleges that requiring felony offenders to register with the state’s sex offender registry detrimentally impacts the individuals’ ability to find gainful employment. It also claims it violates their right to privacy by publicly disclosing their HIV status.
Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, appointed in 2021 by President Joe Biden to head the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, argued in a statement: “The enforcement of state criminal laws that treat people differently based on HIV status alone and that are not based on actual risks of harm, discriminate against people living with HIV.” According to Clarke, the Tennessee law is based on “outdated science and misguided assumptions” that subject those with HIV “to a different system of justice.”
Clarke’s Civil Rights Division has spearheaded some of the Biden government’s more radical and progressive policy pursuits. Last year, Clarke announced she would pursue legal action against financial institutions and banks that reject credit claims made by illegal migrants due to their immigration status.
You literally cannot make this up.
