For most Americans, the mail is more than just letters—it’s how we receive rent payments, medical prescriptions, legal notices, and critical documents. We trust the United States Postal Service to deliver them honestly and on time.

But what happens when postal workers intentionally withhold someone’s mail? And what if the law protects them from being held accountable?

Right now, the United States Supreme Court is considering a case that could change how the Postal Service is treated under federal law.

At the center is a Texas landlord, Lebene Konan, who says postal employees deliberately stopped delivering mail to her and her tenants—for nearly two years—even after she followed all USPS procedures and proved ownership of the mailbox.

She says employees marked mail as undeliverable, returned important packages, and ignored orders from the Postal Service Inspector General to restore delivery. Her tenants missed prescriptions. She lost income. All because someone decided she didn’t deserve reliable service.

When Konan tried to sue, the government claimed immunity—citing an old legal loophole that says the Postal Service can’t be sued for “lost or mishandled mail,” even if the actions were intentional. But this wasn’t an accident. This was targeted mistreatment, possibly motivated by racial bias.

Now, the Supreme Court must decide: Can the Postal Service escape all responsibility when its employees deliberately harm the people they’re supposed to serve?

We say no.

We urge the United States Supreme Court to rule that intentional misconduct—especially when it harms people’s health, income, or civil rights—is not protected under postal immunity.

Americans deserve better. The law should protect the public, not shield government workers from accountability.

Add your name to demand justice for Konan—and for anyone who has been ignored, mistreated, or silenced by a system that was supposed to serve them.
