Trump Administration Orders All Federal DEI Employees on Paid Leave by 5 PM January 24, 2025, Under Executive Order
Jan 22, 2025, 02:30 AM
The Trump administration has mandated that all federal employees working in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) roles be placed on paid leave by 5 PM on Wednesday, January 24, 2025. This directive comes as part of an executive order aimed at dismantling DEI programs across the federal government. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has issued a memo detailing the shutdown of DEI offices, stating that these programs have 'divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination.' Agencies are required to notify employees of the closure and develop plans for potential layoffs. The order reflects a broader shift in federal policy regarding DEI initiatives, with the administration emphasizing a need to reevaluate such programs.
