Trump orders all federal DEI staffers on leave while he dismantles their departments
Briefly

In a significant policy move, federal workers in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) roles will be placed on leave following an executive order from President Trump terminating DEI initiatives. The Office of Personnel Management issued a memo mandating immediate leave for all DEI employees as part of efforts to dismantle these programs. This action is part of a wider conservative push against perceived discrimination within DEI initiatives. Additionally, agencies must report their compliance and remove all DEI-related media and training promptly, illustrating a comprehensive end to these offices under the current administration's directives.
