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.

The groups, along with the city of Baltimore, told U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson in Maryland that federal agencies are continuing to threaten contractors with loss of funding if they do not sign contracts with anti-DEI language,

The decision from the three-judge panel allows the orders to be enforced as a lawsuit challenging them plays out.

An appeals court has lifted a block on executive orders seeking to end government support for diversity, equity and inclusion programs, handing the Trump administration a win.
