A federal appeals court has given President Donald Trump’s administration the go-ahead to enforce a pair of controversial executive orders that seek to root out diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in federal agencies and government contractors.

A federal appeals court will allow the Trump administration to implement directives from the president cracking down on diversity, equity and inclusion programs, as an appeal of a ruling pausing those orders plays out.

A U.S. federal appeals court Friday lifted a block on the Trump administration’s crackdown on diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government, pausing a lower court ruling blocking enforcement of a series of presidential executive orders halting support of DEI initiatives.
