Not sure what you're getting at, so called "redlining" is illegal in the US as well.

The US has a slew of laws around lending, the ECOA and FHA being the main ones.

It's illegal nationally for some specific things like home loans.

Insurance redlining, on the other hand, is rampant and not even particularly secretive. I've heard it's also a problem for credit cards.
