In a bold move, former President Trump has ordered the shutdown of all diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs across the federal government. A memo from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management instructed department and agency heads to place all DEI staffers on paid administrative leave, effective immediately. This decision comes after Trump repealed numerous executive orders promoting LGBTQ equality and demonized DEI policies during his presidential campaign.
