Original Date Announced
January 22, 2025The Trump administration ordered federal employees to report colleagues who defy efforts to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. An email template provided to departments by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) warned that failure to comply within 10 days could result in adverse disciplinary action. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) email notice warned that failure to report DEI efforts "will result" in such consequences. Agencies have begun shutting down DEI offices, canceling related events, and halting demographic-data projects.

June 2, 20252025.06.02 Reported: Border Officials Told Not to Attend Events Tied to Diversity in Law Enforcement - New York Times
The New York Times reports that CBP issued an internal memo in late March 2025 instructing officials not to attend events “that have a gender basis, race basis or a culture basis," such as those hosted by "organizations like Women in Federal Law Enforcement and the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, or NOBLE." The memo invoked President Trump’s executive orders on diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. A spokeswoman for DHS stated that employees are "free to participate in outside groups on their own time,” but "C.B.P. will not use taxpayer dollars and official duty hours to fund identity-based events or programs."
Senior CBP official Tim Quinn resigned in protest, explaining: "Thousands of dedicated law enforcement professionals, including CBP officers and U.S. Border Patrol agents, belong to these groups. These associations promote public safety and provide great benefit to their members and the country. Prohibiting federal government agencies from engaging with policing groups because of race, gender, and culture is wrong, discriminatory, and makes America less safe. This shortsighted and harmful ban should be reversed." See https://www.linkedin.com/posts/tim-quinn-31aa934b_friday-was-my-last-day-at-us-customs-and-activity-7334965621496975360-WjEv
