How does the Department of Justice enforce Title II?
When there is reason to believe that a person or entity has engaged in a ” pattern or practice” of discrimination, which violates Title II, the Department of Justice can bring a lawsuit. However, unlike lawsuits enforcing the Fair Housing Act or the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Department can not obtain monetary damages for individuals in Title II cases. If you have information that suggests a pattern or practice of discrimination in public accomodations, please contact us.
