AFL Files Civil Rights Complaint Against Dodgers, Guggenheim

America First Legal, a conservative group founded by Stephen Miller, filed a federal civil rights complaint on June 30, 2025, with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Guggenheim Partners, led by Dodgers owner Mark Walter. The complaint alleges that the organizations' diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by making employment decisions based on protected characteristics. Concerns cited include Dodgers programs and business resource groups for women and people of color, which the group says provide material benefits based on race or gender. AFL claims even inclusive language is used to segregate or classify employees. The legal filing requests a formal EEOC investigation through a 'Commissioner’s Charge.' Both organizations have not yet issued public statements about the allegations.
