The Trump Administration has instructed the Justice Department to dismiss a series of lawsuits related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices involving police and fire departments. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the decision to halt lawsuits alleging discriminatory hiring practices that were initiated under the Biden Administration. This move includes the dismissal of cases against entities like the Cobb County Fire Department and the Durham Fire Department. The administration emphasizes a shift toward selecting officers and firefighters based solely on skills rather than meeting DEI quotas, marking a significant change in the approach to hiring within these essential services.
