Judge Temporarily Halts Enforcement of Executive Orders Related to Diversity and Gender Policies
- On June 9, U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar issued an order preventing the Trump administration from applying three specific parts of its executive orders aimed at DEI and transgender programs in California.
- The legal challenge arose because the administration's orders sought to cut federal funding without Congress's consent, affecting nonprofits serving LGBTQ+ communities reliant on a 2023 five-year grant.
- Judge Tigar ruled the contested provisions likely violate constitutional rights under the First and Fifth Amendments and cautioned that the government cannot use funding to single out protected groups or suppress disfavored ideas.
- He stressed that "illegality is illegality," and indicated that the plaintiffs, including the San Francisco AIDS Foundation, have a strong chance of prevailing in their legal challenge against the federal government.
- The ruling halts the administration’s effort to defund DEI and transgender programs pending litigation and suggests the president must engage Congress before altering federal funding structures.
