  • Incoming President Donald Trump will issue an executive order that would dismantle all diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the federal government.

The article from ABC News discusses former President Donald Trump's plan to dismantle Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives within the federal government if he were to return to office. Trump intends to issue an executive order on his first day back in office to eliminate what he describes as "discriminatory programs and divisive concepts" related to DEI. This move would reverse policies implemented by the Biden administration aimed at promoting racial equity and addressing systemic racism. Trump's order would also ban federal agencies from considering race, ethnicity, or sex in hiring, contracting, and promotion decisions, arguing that such practices are unconstitutional and promote division. Critics argue that this would undo progress made in addressing racial and gender disparities in federal employment and services.
