Trump administration bans use of race, sex data in federal hiring
- On Thursday, the Trump administration released new guidelines that prohibit the consideration of race or gender in hiring decisions across all federal agencies.

- Critics warn the policy prioritizes political loyalty over merit and risks reshaping the federal workforce to serve the president rather than the public.
