Trump orders reflect his promises to roll back transgender protections and end DEI programs

Associated Press  

▶ Follow live updates on President Donald Trump’s return to Washington President Donald Trump signed executive orders Monday rolling back protections for transgender people and terminating diversity, equity and inclusion programs within the federal government in what he described in his inauguration speech as a move to end efforts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.” Both are major shifts for the federal policy and are in line with Trump’s campaign promises. “We are not going anywhere,” Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson said in a statement, “and we will fight back against these harmful provisions with everything we’ve got.” Trump also revoked protections for transgender military personnel that former President Joe Biden had signed. Trump got big cheers at a rally in Washington on Sunday when he said he’d end DEI requirements from the military and schools. We will make his dream come true.” He later added: “We will forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based.” Maya Wiley, president and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, said Trump’s policies are a step backward.
