The U.S. Attorney General is about to announce “law enforcement action related to North Carolina.”
Today was the deadline for North Carolina’s government to respond to a notification by the Justice Department that HB2, a controversial state law that bans municipalities from protecting their LGBT citizens and forces transgender residents to use the bathroom that aligns with their gender on their birth certificate, is in violation of the federal Civil Rights Act.
In response, North Carolina filed a lawsuit against the Justice Department.
Now, Attorney General Loretta Lynch is holding a press conference at 3:30 p.m. EST to make an announcement.
Watch this space for more updates as they become available.
