Employees of diversity, equity and inclusion programs are to be placed on administrative leave by 5 p.m. Wednesday. Agencies were told to make plans for layoffs.

A memo sent out by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management outlined steps to begin these changes: layoffs, dismantling websites and social media accounts.

The Trump administration is planning to lay off all federal employees who worked in a diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility office as of this past Election Day and has instructed agencies to immediately place such workers on paid administrative leave.
