On Friday, a federal court of appeal from the United States raised a block on the repression of the Trump administration against the diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government, interrupting a lower court decision blocking the application of a series of presidential decrees putting support for the initiatives of DEI.
The panel of three judges on the fourth appeal circuit in Richmond, Virginia concluded that the directives of President Donald Trump were probably constitutional, in disagreement with a decision in February by a federal judge of Maryland.
The judges allow the Trump administration to implement the policy while considering a final decision on the constitutionality of orders.
US District Judge Adam Abelson in Baltimore had blocked the implementation of Trump's executive order on a national level pending the result of a trial brought by the City of Baltimore and groups that have affirmed, among other things, the decrees – one abolishing the dei programs in the federal government and another requiring federal free revenues so as not improper and another free speeches.
The Trump administration maintains that orders do not prohibit or discourage any discourse, but rather target illegal discrimination.
In addition to directing federal agencies to put an end to diversity programs, decrees also prevented federal entrepreneurs from having them. Trump also ordered the Ministry of Justice and other agencies to identify companies, schools and non -profit organizations that have been deemed illegally discriminating through DEI policies.
