Sec. 2000h-2. Intervention by Attorney General; denial of equal
protection on account of race, color, religion, sex or national
origin
Whenever an action has been commenced in any court of the United
States seeking relief from the denial of equal protection of the
laws under the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution on account
of race, color, religion, sex or national origin, the Attorney
General for or in the name of the United States may intervene in
such action upon timely application if the Attorney General
certifies that the case is of general public importance. In such
action the United States shall be entitled to the same relief as if
it had instituted the action.
