Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner said he would terminate the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule on Wednesday, repealing the law which was enacted to “overcome historic patterns of segregation.”

President Trump originally terminated the rule created during the Obama administration in 2020 after he said it would “destroy the value of houses” but it was restored by former President Biden in 2021.
