A Maine resident is leading a complaint against Trump administration over DEI firings

A former federal employee, Mahri Stainnak, filed a class-action complaint claiming wrongful termination due to involvement in diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.
Stainnak stated that the firings disproportionately impacted workers who are not white men, arguing it violated their First Amendment rights.
The complaint aims to represent all federal workers terminated for being associated with DEI concepts under the Trump Administration's directives.
President Donald Trump ordered a halt to DEI programs, saying they might be discriminatory, and directed investigations into such policies.
