Judge largely blocks Trump’s executive orders ending federal support for DEI programs
LA TimesPresident Trump signed an order his first day in office directing federal agencies to terminate all “equity-related” grants or contracts. A federal judge on Friday largely blocked sweeping executive orders from President Trump that seek to end government support for programs promoting diversity, equity and inclusion. Trump signed an order his first day in office directing federal agencies to terminate all “equity-related” grants or contracts. In his written opinion, Abelson found reason to believe the orders are unconstitutionally vague, leaving federal contractors and grant recipients with “no reasonable way to know what, if anything, they can do to bring their grants into compliance.” He described a hypothetical scenario where an elementary school received Department of Education funding for technology access and a teacher used a computer to teach about Jim Crow laws.
