Federal workers laid off in connection with President Donald Trump’s anti-DEI executive orders said their terminations were discriminatory and violated their First Amendment rights, in an administrative complaint seeking reinstatement to their jobs.
The complaint, filed Wednesday with the US Merit Systems Protection Board, alleges the DEI-related layoffs targeted workers based on perceived political affiliation and disproportionately affected workers who aren’t white men.
