“On March 26, 2026, Trump signed the executive order “Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors,” which does not protect against discrimination but instead reinstitutionalizes it. The order prohibits federal contractors from conducting targeted outreach to vendors of color, establishing mentoring or leadership development programs for underrepresented entrepreneurs, or directing any resources toward inclusion.”
