Group suing DOGE was awarded millions in DEI funding that is now on Trump's chopping block

A group suing over President Donald Trump’s cost-cutting effort across the government was awarded millions of dollars in federal diversity, equity, and inclusion grants that may be slashed under the new administration, records show.

Last week, the American Public Health Association joined five others in accusing Trump’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency of violating transparency rules. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., just before Trump signed an executive order establishing DOGE as a unit within the executive branch rather than an outside group — making it more likely to be subject to public records laws.
