President Trump just got a big win in the 4th Circuit of Appeals, who vacated a lower court injunction against his executive order ending DEI programs in the federal government.
Here’s the basic verdict from Judge Diaz, and Obama appointee:
DIAZ, Chief Judge:
In the first days of his second term, President Donald J. Trump issued two Executive Orders that directed executive agencies to end “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (“DEI”) programs within federal grant and contract processes. See Exec. Order No. 14,151, 90 Fed.
Reg. 8339 (Jan 20, 2025); Exec. Order No. 14,173, 90 Fed. Reg. 8633 (Jan. 21, 2025).
Plaintiffs: the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore; the American Association of University Professors; and the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education — sued and sought to preliminarily enjoin three of the Orders’ provisions on First and Fifth Amendment grounds. The district court entered a preliminary injunction, but we stayed it pending appeal.
We now vacate the district court’s injunction and remand.
He was joined by another Obama appointee and a Trump appointee.
