A new federal lawsuit accuses U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins of promoting Christian beliefs to federal employees through workplace email communications. The complaint alleges that Rollins frequently invokes Jesus Christ and sends messages that the plaintiffs describe as religious proselytizing or “sermonizing.” According to the reports, the lawsuit also points to emails sent around Christian holidays, including Easter and Christmas, as examples of the conduct employees believe is inappropriate in a professional setting.
The plaintiffs name Rollins and the USDA as defendants and argue that the emails constitute unwanted religious messaging directed at staff. The accounts agree that the case centers on the content and frequency of Rollins’ emails rather than other workplace actions.
The outlets report the lawsuit as newly filed and describe it as seeking legal remedies over alleged violations related to workplace treatment and religious expression. The reports do not detail a response from the USDA or Rollins in the provided summaries.
