Sen. Kelly Says Trump’s DEI Remarks on Plane Crash Reflect ‘Poor Leadership’
- In March 2025, the Trump administration terminated almost all of the approximately 150 staff members involved in federal diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, prompting a legal lawsuit.
- This purge followed changes after Trump's second inauguration, including an April executive order targeting civil rights doctrines and dismantling DEI efforts across the government.
- Many affected workers, predominantly women and nonbinary employees, were career civil servants like Pyatt and Crowner, who argue they were unfairly targeted despite limited DEI involvement.
