As Trump Cracks Down On DEI In Washington, Federal Agencies Caught Secretly Trying To Keep It Alive
Story by Wallace White • 17h
Two federal agencies seemed to attempt to keep their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs and staff onboard amid President Donald Trump’s crackdown.
Trump signed a flurry of executive orders cracking down on DEI on Tuesday, including a ban on diversity programs in the federal government. Just days later, the Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Bureau (ATF) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) changed the names of their DEI-related programs and staff positions, while seemingly retaining personnel and policy.
“Individual dignity, hard work, and excellence are fundamental to American greatness,” the White House said in a statement Wednesday. “This Executive Order reaffirms these values by ending the Biden-Harris Administration’s anti-constitutional and deeply demeaning ‘equity’ mandates, terminating DEI, and protecting civil rights.”
