Injunction lifted on Trump executive orders slashing federal DEI support
|
[FOXNEWS] An appeals court on Friday lifted a block on President Donald Trump
 ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
's executive orders ending federal support for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.
A panel of three judges ruled the orders can be enforced during a pending lawsuit, reversing a nationwide injunction from U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson in Baltimore, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported.
Two of the judges on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the orders "could raise concerns" about First Amendment rights, but found Abelson's "sweeping block went too far," according to the report.
Abelson, a Biden nominee, previously ruled the orders violated the First Amendment right to free speech and were unconstitutionally "vague," as they did not define DEI.
The ruling followed a lawsuit filed by the City of Baltimore, the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, the American Association of University Professors and the Restaurant Opportunities Centers United, which alleged the executive orders were presidential overreach and anti-free speech.
They argued the president's power "is not limitless."
Trump's orders directed federal agencies to terminate all "equity-related" grants or contracts, and required federal contractors to certify that they don't promote DEI.
The administration argued in court that the ban only affected DEI programs violating federal civil rights laws.
"What's happening is an overcorrection and pulling back on DEI statements," attorney Aleshadye Getachew said in a hearing.
