Appeals court lifts blocks on Trump’s orders restricting diversity, equity and inclusion programs

An appeals court lifted a block on Trump's executive orders aimed at ending government support for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, marking a victory for the Trump administration amid numerous lawsuits.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals allowed the orders to be enforced while a lawsuit against them continues, overruling a previous injunction by U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson.
Two judges acknowledged concerns about First Amendment rights related to the orders but agreed that the previous block was too broad and unnecessary.
The lawsuit, filed by the city of Baltimore and three groups, claims that Trump overstepped by targeting free speech with these orders, which may be unconstitutional.
