Alabama officials combat debanking linked to political views

Alabama State Auditor Andrew Sorrell is leading efforts against debanking, where individuals are removed from banks due to their political views. Sorrell claims he was debanked for owning gun stores. Legislation at both state and federal levels is moving forward to address this issue. Critics argue that debanking is a form of discrimination, while banks deny such practices exist. Members of the Trump family have also reported being debanked and have filed a lawsuit. The situation highlights growing concerns over financial institutions' treatment of customers based on political beliefs.
