A federal judge in Baltimore presided over a lengthy hearing today to consider whether to temporarily block two executive orders issued by President Donald Trump. These orders are aimed at removing diversity, equity, and inclusion programs from both the government and private sector.
The US District Judge, Adam Abelson, listened to arguments from several education associations and the city of Baltimore who requested a temporary restraining order against the executive orders. While Judge Abelson did not make an immediate ruling, he expressed skepticism towards the arguments presented by the Justice Department lawyer.
