Trump’s second presidential term is marked by a series of executive orders targeting hot-button cultural issues, with the Civil Rights Division set to enforce these policies. Changes to civil rights priorities are expected, reversing Biden-era decisions. The Trump administration has already frozen actions on many civil rights cases, withdrawing from several filed under Biden’s tenure. Trump focused on eliminating government DEI initiatives to expand opportunities for underrepresented groups in his first week. He signed an executive order directing the Civil Rights Division to identify private-sector targets for legal action against discriminatory DEI programs.
