Further information: Persecution and Farmer v. Brennan
The deprivation of rights under color of law is a federal criminal offense which occurs when any person, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person on any U.S. territory or possession to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens (18 U.S.C. § 242). When two or more persons conspire to prevent the exercise of constitutional rights, or to punish an individual for having exercised them, it is deemed a conspiracy against rights (18 U.S.C. § 241). The death penalty is applicable in extreme cases when the crimes cause the death of the individual being deprived of statutory or constitutional rights.[2] Remedy by civil action is also possible: 42 U.S.C. § 1983.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pl6jeul2qfrtkjgnc6cu44rk/bafkreiadvny2soqur4shij7i7y5ytpolqq57km7hedxzudykpx7hh2d7ne)
![In June 2025, it was reported that the Trump Administration was considering cancelling the E-7 procurement due to concerns that the aircraft would be vulnerable in future conflicts. During an appearance before Congress, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth gave the E-7 as an example of "systems and platforms that are not survivable in the modern battlefield, or they don't give us an advantage in a future fight" and said that "tough decisions" needed to be made.[88]
On 26 June 2025, it was reported that the USAF had canceled the E-7 program due to ballooning costs and concerns about survivability. The termination, announced as part of the fiscal 2026 budget rollout, came after months of rumors that the program was in danger as the Trump administration increasingly set its sights on instead using space-based capabilities to help warplanes find and track enemy aircraft, known as the air moving target indicator (AMTI) mission.[7] However, in September 2025 it was announced that two existing Boeing 737 passenger aircraft would be significantly overhauled and upgraded to create two prototype early-warning surveillance aircraft for delivery to the USAF.[89][90]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pl6jeul2qfrtkjgnc6cu44rk/bafkreiapid43675y5lfdo7qoqfcw7q3kra3mzkyslgso7o4ujl5nsyufqu)
