Federal DEI Offices Abolished
Across Every Agency
Executive orders signed on Day 1 of the Trump administration mandated the elimination of every DEI office, program, training curriculum, and dedicated staff position across the entire federal government. Thousands of DEI employees were placed on leave and terminated. Federal contractors were required to certify they operate no DEI programs. Decades of bureaucratic DEI infrastructure were dismantled in under 90 days.
The Federal Government will, as soon as practicable, terminate all DEI offices and positions, all equity-related grants or contracts, and all DEI or DEIA performance requirements, incentives, policies, programs, and activities.
