This follows an executive order signed on Trump’s first day, targeting the dismantling of DEI programs, including anti-bias training and minority-focused funding. Agencies were instructed to remove DEI-related webpages by Wednesday evening. By Thursday, departments must compile lists of DEI offices and workers as of Election Day, with a reduction-in-force plan due next Friday. Some agencies had already begun removing DEI webpages before the directive. The move signals a broad rollback of federal inclusion initiatives.
