Document 570

Summary
On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued an executive order to terminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs within the federal government, which he described as discriminatory and wasteful. This action reverses policies established under the Biden Administration, aiming to eliminate DEI-related positions, training, and initiatives across federal agencies. The order could lead to significant changes in federal employment practices and potentially face legal and political challenges, as it shifts the government's focus toward individual merit and away from DEI considerations.
