Eighty-seven civil rights groups have serious concerns about the nomination of Alexander Acosta as Trump's Labor Secretary.

The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights wants a thorough review of Acosta's nomination before Senate confirmation. Wade Henderson, President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, says the Secretary of Labor should uphold the Labor Department's mission of protecting the welfare, health and safety of American workers.

The civil rights groups say that "The American public, and Department of Labor workers, must be reassured that the civil service will not be politicized under Mr. Acosta’s watch and that the laws the Department is mandated to implement and enforce will be carried out effectively."
