The Trump administration is ordering all federal employees in diversity, equity and inclusion roles placed on paid leave by Wednesday evening, according to a new memo from the Office of Personnel Management.

Federal agencies have been directed to compile a list of DEI offices and workers and develop a reduction-in-force plan against those federal workers.

On Monday, hours after he was sworn into office, Trump signed an order that rescinds DEI hiring practices enacted by President Joe Biden. Trump's order eliminates the roles of chief diversity officer and others overseeing anti-discrimination measures across the federal government.
