A team of workers from the U.S. DOGE Service developed step-by-step plans for carrying out President Donald Trump's order to purge diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives from the federal government -- and over the next six months intend to expand that campaign dramatically, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post. DOGE aims to target staffers who are not in DEI roles and employees who work in offices established by law to ensure equal rights, internal DOGE documents show.

DOGE Doc Shows Plan To Fire Equal Rights Workers
February 15, 2025
The Washington Post reports:
A team of workers from the U.S. DOGE Service developed step-by-step plans for carrying out President Donald Trump's order to purge diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives from the federal government -- and over the next six months intend to expand that campaign dramatically, according to documents obtained by The Washington Post. DOGE aims to target staffers who are not in DEI roles and employees who work in offices established by law to ensure equal rights, internal DOGE documents show.
In the coming weeks, the documents show, DOGE has planned for the Trump administration to trim staff from dozens of offices across the executive branch, including those that protect employees' civil rights and others that investigate complaints of employment discrimination in the federal workplace. Among the groups targeted are a Veterans Affairs office that works to ensure all veterans receive equal access to care and an office within HHS that provides information about the health of minority populations.
