The Trump administration on Wednesday sent memos that called on federal government employees to provide information about any agencies’ attempts to hide diversity programs, after he ordered government employees in offices administering such programs to be placed on paid leave.

The memo, which was sent to multiple federal agencies, said that some departments are trying to hide various “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” (DEIA) efforts.
