Google Reviews Don’t Lie: A Pattern of Retaliation and Prevailing Racism at New Ulm EDA. This individual—whom I’ve never met—describes facing the same barriers I’ve reported with NUEDA staff: refusal to follow state tenant rights and rental laws, promotion of dangerous living conditions from lewd and threatening sexual exposure to blatant housing code violations. And if participants assert their legal rights, they are retaliated against and terminated.
HUD, the Attorney General’s Office, and the Department of Justice have all been contacted—and remain completely unresponsive. Their enforcement of state, federal, and program regulations could immediately rectify these realities. Instead, Housing Authorities continue this behavior because they know they will face no financial or professional accountability. Agencies like HUD and the Attorney General’s Office become facilitators of this injustice, the injuries, and the losses to Minnesotans—by simply not responding to complaints or mandating correction.
The DOJ was responsive—but their protocols require a massive number of victims to act. Whether that threshold has been met is unknown, because the average participant may not have the resources or ability to self-advocate. Legal aid services—meant to be neutral and supportive—have proven to be in the pocket of the same state and federal programs that are perpetrating or shielding the abuse.

I agree—things absolutely change when you advocate for yourself or assert your rights with them. That’s exactly what led to this website and to the recorded conversations of being bullied by Laurie in the EDA office, and being treated without dignity during the administration of housing programs.
It’s as if applicants, participants, or residents are either a joke to be humiliated when no one is responding to complaints, or labeled as troublesome and problematic simply for asserting their rights.
But the truth is, applicants and residents should not have to assert their rights just to be treated fairly. Housing Authority staff should be honoring those rights by default, every day, as a matter of policy, professionalism, and dignity. Respect and lawful treatment shouldn't be triggered only after conflict—it should be built into how these programs are administered.
HUD Inaction Leaves Victims Exposed to Retaliation
No victim of systemic racism ever wants to quarrel in spaces where they're supposed to be protected. When the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) fails to respond to discriminatory racism in their federally contracted housing authorities—like the New Ulm Economic Development Authority—they leave participants in a situation where retaliatory lies can be authored into their permanent records. These falsehoods follow them and affect everything from how other housing authorities treat them, how they’re disciplined, and even how inspection and advocacy requests are handled. Additionally, they leave targets in a situation where they can face terminations and penalties in housing services for acts they never committed—simply because an employee of the federal housing authority is racially targeting them.
Injuries and Loss Due To Systemic Racism Grows When HUD Doesn’t Respond
Furthermore, participants in HUD programs are already likely to be vulnerable and marginalized, which carries automatic negative health impacts. Many are also disabled. The toll of systemic racism and discrimination—something that directly alters life outcomes—is damaging to a target's health, not just in the scenario of program termination, but as it is actively occurring. This deterioration in health often leads to longer dependence on publicly funded programs such as the Housing Choice Voucher and Medicaid programs.
The Hidden System of State Profit & Citizen Cost from HUD’s Failure to Protect
Yet in the state of Minnesota, all the appropriate oversight agencies—including HUD's regional office—refuse to respond to complaints of harmful, race-based discrimination at the New Ulm Economic Development Authority. Once again, we see the coded conduct of Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger B. Taney echoed in the Minnesota Paradox, where all the regulations and protocols to prevent federal crimes like discrimination in HUD-contracted housing authorities already exist, but Minnesota employees and their regional partners refuse to enforce them when it comes to protecting Black citizens.
Instead, they demand more funding for the Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) to address the economic disadvantages that unchecked discrimination creates. But those funds are also routinely hoarded and criminally redirected within DHS—released to fraudulent contractors as kickbacks to maintain silence around the widespread internal corruption.
It’s as if these agencies are intentionally profiting from the systemic, illegal treatment of African Americans—treating them not as citizens, but as cash cows, “slaves” to the state—paid off by body counts, like jails are paid per head for prisoners in the so-called free world, while these victims have committed no crime.
In all the research and reports you’ll find created by Minnesota about “racial disparities,” Black health, and the socioeconomic poverty facing Black people—including a 90% wealth gap between the races—no one is talking about racially motivated systematic crime. Why is that?
Is it because no one is addressing it… or because they’re actually fully aware that they are the current beneficiaries of it that don't want to reduce their wealth, entitlement, privileges' and false image of superiority based on assets and employment title retention by discussing how they've acquired those positions and wealth, and how they manage to maintain them?
I am demonstrating—with hard, evidential facts—that racially motivated crime exists in Minnesota's public services. So where are the articles about the financial cost that victims of these crimes experience? They’ll talk about transatlantic slavery. They’ll talk about racist policies. But what about the non-racist policies—the ones that are legal, effective, and protective—yet are intentionally not enforced for Black people by racist employees in Minnesota’s public service sectors?
These public employees are collecting paychecks to uphold laws and enforce civil rights protections—yet they deliberately refuse to apply them when the victim is Black. That is a crime. And it’s being buried beneath polished language and so-called “equity efforts” that never address the core of the injustice.
