Trump’s Dismantling Of ‘Environmental Justice’ Offices Is Ticking Off Climate Activists
by Tyler O'neil Feb 21, 2025
Last week, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it began implementing Trump’s executive order “Ending Radial and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing.” [emphasis, links added]
The agency placed 171 employees in DEI and environmental justice offices on leave.
The EPA intends to close the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights, The Washington Post reported. Trump appointees at the Justice Department announced they would restructure the Department of Justice’s Environment and Natural Resources Division.
Shortly after her confirmation, Attorney General Pam Bondi rescinded any “memoranda, guidance, or similar directive that implement the prior administration’s ‘environmental justice’ agenda.”
