DEI Offices Eliminated Across Federal Government — Project 2025 'Woke' Purge (2025-01-25)

Trump issues an executive order eliminating all Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices and programs across the federal government. The order, drafted by Project 2025 authors, requires all agencies to identify and terminate any positions or contracts related to DEI. Thousands of federal employees are reassigned or fired. The purge extends to contractors and grantees, threatening funding for universities and non-profits with DEI programs. Project 2025 calls the order the 'first step in dismantling the woke administrative state.'
