The Trump administration’s crackdown on DEI is causing major changes in some federal agencies, according to social media posts by one attorney.
Mark Zaid, an attorney who focuses on national security issues, shared what he was hearing in a post on social media platform X.
“It goes beyond what happened at DHS & NASA today,” he wrote Wednesday.
“CIA employees were told all resource & affinity groups are canceled. No black history month or MLK celebration, or any other ethnic recognition months. DEI folks are to be fired rather than allowed to rotate to former offices,” he wrote.
“CIA is also apparently banning lanyards that have to do with affinity groups. Women’s Council had to take down website & cancel all events, incl women’s history month,” he wrote in another post.
