Jan. 21 (UPI) -- All diversity, equity and inclusion federal employees are to be placed on paid leave no later than Wednesday evening, the Trump administration ordered Tuesday as it continued its attack on DEI initiatives and programs. In a memo sent to the heads of all federal departments and agencies, the Office of Personnel Management set a 5 p.m. EST Wednesday deadline for notifying employees in DEI offices that they have been placed on paid leave, effectively immediately.
