A coalition of activist groups is suing the federal government over President Donald Trump’s executive orders that curtail the government’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and reject transgender ideology.

The new lawsuit, known as National Urban League v. Trump, was filed on Feb. 19 with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Judge Loren AliKhan was assigned to the case.
