Baltimore and its Democratic mayors will work with progressive groups to dismantle the “program” of diversity, equity and inclusion, as the president states in one of his orders. He filed a lawsuit with the aim of stopping it.
Mayor Brandon Scott of Baltimore – National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, American Association of University Professors, Restaurant Opportunity Center United – filed a lawsuit in Maryland federal court this week against Trump and several cabinet directors.
Scott did not respond to requests for comment, but Trump's orders go beyond attacking Day, but he said, “We dare to attack anyone or anywhere to celebrate our diversity.” We aim to establish it.”
“Baltimore citizens are at risk of losing important federal funds as they earn jobs and livelihoods through this executive order,” the mayor added. The city council is also listed as plaintiffs.

According to the Census Bureau, Baltimore, the country's 30th largest city, is 60% black, 27% white, 8% Hispanic and 2% Asians.
Trump's order not only seeks to erase roles within bureaucrats, including diversity officials, but also calls for efforts related to “equity.”
Paulette Granberry Russell, CEO of Diversity Officers' Association, said in a statement that Trump's orders undermine the ability of higher education to open up “opportunities, innovations and advancements for people across the country.”
“As the nation's leading association for higher education diversity officers and professionals, we will use all the tools, including legal procedures, to block these harmful orders,” Granberry Russell said. It's there.
Officials from the Restaurant Industry Group said that restaurants rely on workers from all ethnic backgrounds and diversity distinguishes the food service sector from others.
“President Trump wants to see the end of all diversity, equity and inclusion programs of all kinds, and we don't support it,” interim president Teophilo Reyes said in a statement. Ta.

“The American minority recognizes the Democratic Party's sky promises and failed policies. That's why President Trump has been able to prioritize safe boundaries, economic opportunities, and America's first foreign policy, and is now a source of black people, and He has won historical support from Latino, Asian and Arab Americans,” spokesman Harrison Fields told Fox News Digital.
Fields said the left “splitting focus” on the DEI undermined decades of progress towards true equality, and that Trump and his administration rejected such “backward thinking.”

It is reportedly supported or organized in part by the for-profit organization Democracy Forward. .
Democracy boasted on its website that it has sued the Trump administration more than 100 times.
Group president Sky Perryman said in a statement on the Baltimore lawsuit that the constitution protects all Americans regardless of their profession, and that Trump's anti-DEI orders “ridden these protections and more.” Ta.
“The coalition that brings this case represents people from diverse occupations and backgrounds that are harming these illegal orders.
