<p>The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/trump-administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Trump administration</a> will be placing all federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) officials on paid leave by the end of the business day Wednesday, a document from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) says.</p>
<p>The OPM memo, which is being sent to the executive agencies as a result of President Donald Trump’s <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/ending-radical-and-wasteful-government-dei-programs-and-preferencing/">executive order</a> “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEl Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions,” instructs agency heads to tell all DEI employees that they are being placed on leave immediately.</p>
<p>“Send a notification to all employees of DEIA offices that they are being placed on paid administrative leave effective immediately as the agency takes steps to close/end all DEIA initiatives, offices, and programs,” it reads.</p>

<p>“President Trump campaigned on ending the scourge of DEI from our federal government and returning America to a merit based society where people are hired based on their skills, not for the color of their skin,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt <a href="https://x.com/yamiche/status/1881897181189214714?s=46&amp;t=o-U3qwC25WnWaylJ0oeG7Q">said</a>. “This is another win for Americans of all races, religions, and creeds. Promises made, promises kept.”</p>
<p>The memo also instructs agency heads to take down all social media pages associated with their DEIA offices and “send an agency-wide notice to employees informing them of the closure and asking employees if they know of any efforts to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language.”</p>

<p>Executive agencies are expected to send OPM a list of all “DEIA-related agency contracts” and “DEIA offices,” and to cancel any upcoming DEIA trainings.</p>
<p>OPM also provided agency heads with a template email to send to bureaucrats, which explains that the DEI actions of the previous administration &#8220;divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination.&#8221;</p>
<p>The move from the Trump administration is an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/heres-how-the-trump-admin-can-purge-dei-from-americas-military-and-foreign-policy">attempt to undo</a> the Biden administration’s wide-reaching campaign to embed far-Left DEI policies and personnel throughout the executive branch. One <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-harris-administration-pushed-far-left-ideology-with-500-dei-actions-report-finds">study</a> from Do No Harm found that the Democrat administration took at least 500 different actions to embed the ideology within the federal bureaucracy and executive branch.</p>
<p>Under the former president, intelligence officials were invited to have their <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-bidens-intel-community-is-celebrating-pride-month-with-free-trans-flag-manicures-and-filipinx-lectures">nails painted</a> the colors of the transgender flag, left-wing activists in the State Department <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/state-department-lgbt-racial-equity-envoy-profiles-scrubbed-after-trump-takes-office">traveled the globe</a> pushing Critical Race Theory and transgender ideology, the National Security Agency <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-leaked-nsa-doc-reveals-massive-woke-glossary-pushing-critical-race-theory-gender-ideology-on-govt-employees">warned</a> of “white fragility” and “transmisogyny,” and bureaucrats organized in identity-based employee groups that often doubled as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/how-race-and-sex-based-affinity-groups-drive-dei-initiatives-throughout-the-federal-government">activist nodes</a>, a series of Daily Wire investigations revealed.</p>
<p>Outside organizations also received lucrative government contracts to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-biden-harris-admin-paid-consultants-millions-to-help-military-implement-race-based-hiring-combat-resistance-to-dei">advance DEI</a>, with the Pentagon hiring a public university to create a discriminatory career pipeline program and a think tank drafting plans to mitigate resistance against the race-based ideology.</p>
