The Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) ripped the Trump administration's move on Friday to roll back an Obama-era program that oversees and rates how police officers work with members of the communities they serve.

“This is yet another example of what the black community has to lose under this administration," Rep.

It also further divides police departments and communities – rich and poor, black and white," Richmond said.

The initiative was created under former President Barack Obama and allowed police departments and cities to seek federal help on various issues, including police shootings and alleged brutality.
