President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Jan. 21 directing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to immediately cease hiring workers based on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and focus instead on individual capability.
The order is among dozens the commander-in-chief signed into law this week after returning to the White House for a second term, including one aimed at eliminating DEI-focused policies and programs within the federal government.
