Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administration’s Anti-Diversity Orders
A federal judge in California has halted the enforcement of Trump administration executive orders that restrict grant funding for programs promoting diversity and transgender recognition, deeming them unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Jon Tigar ruled that the government cannot mandate recipients to abandon these initiatives to receive funding, emphasizing the protection of free speech and the rights of marginalized communities. The decision will stand during ongoing legal proceedings, with the government likely to appeal.
