   A legal activist group led by an ex-adviser to former President Donald Trump   
   is accusing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office of engaging in   
   "racial and sex discrimination."   
      
   America First Legal (AFL), led by former longtime Trump adviser Stephen   
   Miller, announced in a press release on Thursday that it had filed federal   
   and state complaints claiming that the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)   
   hiring policies of Bragg's office are illegal, alleging they discriminate   
   against white men and Asian people.   
      
   The group speculates in the release that a section of the Manhattan D.A.'s   
   website touting a DEI commitment to "build a diverse workforce" is meant "to   
   enforce its quota system and screen out white, male, or Asian candidates,"   
   alleging that "Bragg's Office collects race, ethnicity, and even sexual   
   orientation data on its employment applications."   
      
   "Today, America First Legal (AFL) filed a federal civil rights complaint   
   with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and a state law   
   complaint with the New York Department of Labor against Manhattan District   
   Attorney Alvin Bragg for alleged racial and sex discrimination in hiring and   
   recruitment in violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and of the New York   
   State Human Rights Law," the release states.   
      
   "Bragg's self-described recruitment, hiring, and promotion practices and   
   quotas violate our nondiscrimination laws," in continues. "Therefore, the   
   EEOC and the New York Human Rights Division have ample reason to act. AFL   
   will continue fighting to protect our citizens' rights and to preserve the   
   rule of law."   
      
   Bragg is best known for his recent successful prosecution of Trump, who   
   became the first president in U.S. history to be convicted of a crime last   
   when a New York City jury last week found him guilty on 34 felony counts of   
   falsifying business records to conceal potential politically damaging 2016   
   hush money paid to porn star Stormy Daniels.   
      
   America First Legal Senior Vice President Reed D. Rubinstein said in a   
   statement included in Thursday's release that Bragg's commitment to DEI   
   practices, which are common in corporate and government hiring but have   
   recently become controversial due to conservative backlash, was evidence of   
   his "political agenda."   
      
   "Alvin Bragg has demonstrated beyond all doubt that he will disregard the   
   law and abuse his authority to advance a political agenda," Rubinstein said.   
   "His practice of recruiting, hiring, and promoting workers based on their   
   race, sex, or national origin is obnoxious, immoral, and illegal."   
      
   "The EEOC and the New York Human Rights Division were created to stop Bragg   
   and others like him from illegally discriminating against Americans; based   
   on the facts, they should act to protect equality and the rule of law," he   
   added.   
      
   Newsweek reached out for comment to Bragg's office via email on Thursday   
   night.   
      
   Miller, who is not a lawyer, founded AFL in 2021 with the goal of advancing   
   Trump's agenda and combating perceived enemies of the right that include   
   so-called "woke corporations," "the fake news media" and "liberal Washington   
   politicians."   
      
   The actions against Bragg's office were far from the first civil rights   
   complaints that the group has filed based on claims that DEI practices are   
   discriminatory, with similar complaints having been launched against   
   companies that include Tyson Foods, Macy's and Anheuser-Busch.
