A federal judge temporarily blocked a series of executive orders from President Donald Trump aimed at gutting diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives within the federal government late Friday night.
U.S. District Court Judge Adam B. Abelson sided with the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education in a 68-page ruling, issuing a temporary injunction and agreeing that plaintiffs would likely succeed in their argument that the orders were both “unconstitutionally vague” and “chilling [toward] free speech.”
