Legal Insurrection ^ | Jan 22 2025 | Mary Chastain

Posted on 01/22/2025 6:43:49 AM PST by texas booster

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the federal Office of Personnel Management (OPM) memo alerting agencies to close their DEI offices and place staff on leave is real.

By 5PM ET today, the agencies must:

Send an agency-wide notice to employees informing them of the closure and asking employees if they know of any efforts to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language

Send a notification to all employees of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) offices that they are being placed on paid administrative leave effective immediately as the agency takes steps to close/end all DEIA initiatives, offices and programs.

Take down all outward facing media (websites, social media accounts, etc.) of DEIA offices

Withdraw any final or pending documents, directives, orders, materials and equity plans issued by the agency in response to the now-repealed Executive Order 14035, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce (June 25, 2021)

Cancel any DEIA-related trainings and terminate any DEIA-related contractors


TOPICS: Crime/Corruption; Culture/Society; Government; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS:
By mid-Thursday, the heads of the agencies have to give OPM a list of the employees and offices, DEI-related agency contracts, and explain how the agency will comply with President Donald Trump executive order.

The agencies have until the end of the month to give OPM their plan “for executing a reduction-in-force action regarding” the DEI employees and provide “a list of all contract descriptions or personnel position descriptions that were changed since November 5, 2024 to obscure their connection to” DEI programs.

A little more detail of what is required by 5:00 pm today.

Should be able to clean out another layer of useless bureaucrats by this alone.

Now DEFUND any school at any level offering courses in Marxism, feminism, and the DEI destruction.

Need to end the “Human Resources” process of turning every business into a Marxist prop.

There will have to be a lot of rewrites and recessions of existing regulations that in effect promote race and gender based decision making, hiring practices, and contract awards.

It’s unfortunate that they are still getting tax payer money, but at least they are no longer there doing harm.

Unfortunately the DOJ closed its DEI office prior to 1/20/25 and reassigned the DEI staff. The DOJ DEI staff are still working within the system.

Trump seems to have a better handle on the DC machinery this time. Good for him! He’ll still have a fight on his hands, but the opposition seems to be on their heels in the early rounds.

Special glacial ice cube counting program.

Alternatively, Zimbabwe. Count mosquitoes.

“Unfortunately the DOJ closed its DEI office prior to 1/20/25 and reassigned the DEI staff.”

Easy enough to track their re-assingment.

Clean them out!
