DALLAS — On January 21, 2025, the White House issued a memorandum on “Keeping Americans Safe in Aviation,” directing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the US' foremost aviation safety body, and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to immediately end diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in favor of merit-based hiring.
Despite current policy, the FAA during Trump’s first administration actively sought to recruit workers with disabilities.
President Donald Trump is doubling down on purging diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts within the U.S. government. Less than two days after his inauguration, his administration is taking aim at the FAA.
The Office of Personnel Management tells agency and department heads they must close all DEIA offices by the end of Wednesday and put government workers in those offices on paid leave.
Donald Trump issued an executive order when he took office in January 2025, removing Joe Biden’s DEI programs in the government.
The Washington, D.C., area is governed by a Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) within a 30-mile radius of Reagan National Airport. Flying unmanned aircraft within the 15-mile inner ring is prohibited without specific FAA authorization, requiring Transportation Security Administration and FAA waivers and special clearance.
The Trump administration is ordering all federal employees in diversity, equity and inclusion roles placed on paid leave by Wednesday evening, according to a new memo from the Office of Personnel Management.
