Trump orders federal DEI workers on leave, plans firings, citing civil rights concerns.

The Trump administration has ordered federal employees working on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs to be placed on paid leave, with plans to fire them. This move follows Trump's executive order claiming that DEI programs violate civil rights laws and undermine national unity. Critics argue that such programs are essential for addressing systemic inequalities. The order requires agencies to terminate DEI-related training, contracts, and online content by the end of the week and develop a plan to lay off DEI staff by the end of January.
