"Trump administration officials are pressing federal agencies to dig deeper to find diversity workers to push out of the government, according to current and former officials familiar with internal conversations.
President Trump’s Office of Personnel Management last week required federal agencies to close offices that focus exclusively on diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility and place employees of those divisions on paid administrative leave by Jan. 22. Agency leaders were required to submit a list of all DEI employees the following day.
After doing so, agencies were asked to identify additional staff who worked on those areas during a meeting with OPM staff last week, the officials said. These people said it seemed that the Trump administration had expected the number to be larger. Some agency officials parsed through position descriptions to find additional related roles. The Trump administration has followed up with agencies about employees thought to be working on diversity issues as well as those who have attended internal diversity events, people familiar with the matter said.
It isn’t clear how many DEI-related jobs have been identified by agencies so far. The Department of Veterans Affairs said this week it had placed nearly 60 people, with average annual earnings of $136,000, on paid leave. Other officials said their agencies’ initial counts were far lower. The Education Department said it had canceled $2.6 million in ongoing DEI training and service contracts. In a Wednesday post on X, the Department of Government Efficiency said roughly $1 billion in diversity-related contracts have been terminated across several dozen divisions."
