WASHINGTON (AP) — One of the nation’s largest Black fraternities is criticizing presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for his attacks on a federal judge.
Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. has come to the defense of U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is a member of that fraternity.
Trump has claimed the U.S.-born Curiel cannot preside fairly over a case involving Trump University because the judge is of Mexican heritage and Trump wants to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

The fraternity’s leader, Thomas L. Battles Jr., says “Kappa Alpha Psi stands firmly against the practice of judging a man solely by his race, creed or national origin.”
