Civil and human rights groups sue over Trump diversity, transgender orders

Civil rights groups, including Lambda Legal and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, have sued President Donald Trump over his executive orders regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion programs and transgender rights.
The lawsuit argues that the executive orders will limit critical services such as HIV treatment and fair housing.
U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson is considering the request to pause Trump's DEI executive orders but has not made a ruling yet.
Plaintiffs claim the orders create a 'chilling' effect on First Amendment rights and unfairly target marginalized groups, with implications for funding and support in equity programs.
