A mayor serving in a major metropolitan area receives an internal memorandum indicating personnel at many police stations are single-race. At the time of the report, thirty percent of the police force was black or Hispanic. She immediately calls a press conference and orders transfer of police officers to achieve racial balance across the city. The transferred police offers sue on constitutional grounds. Assuming just these facts, what is the strongest argument that might be advanced by the transferred officers based on constitutional grounds?Answer

		Executive action by the mayor is unconstitutional because there was no rational relationship to a valid governmental purpose.
		The action is “void for vagueness” since transferred police officers must unnecessarily guess at the underlying public policy of the transfer process.
		The mayor’s policy used race as the basis for transfers, and assignments are subject to strict scrutiny.
		The transfer can be set aside based on intermediate or heightened level of scrutiny.
