An appeals court on March 14, 2025 stayed a Maryland district judge’s nationwide injunction that had blocked key provisions of President Trump’s executive orders targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), allowing agencies to resume enforcement while the appeal proceeds. (ballardspahr.com) The orders—Executive Orders 14151 and 14173—had been enjoined by U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson on February 21. (huschblackwell.com) The reinstated provisions permit agencies to end “equity‑related” grants and contracts, require contractors and grantees to certify compliance with federal anti‑discrimination law, and could enable enforcement actions tied to false certifications.

On March 14, 2025, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit stayed a Maryland district court’s nationwide preliminary injunction and allowed enforcement of President Trump’s Executive Orders 14151 and 14173, which direct federal agencies and contractors to end or restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs. The orders, issued January 20, 2025, had been enjoined on First and Fifth Amendment and vagueness grounds; the appeals panel said the orders are not facially unconstitutional and permitted enforcement while legal challenges from Baltimore and civil‑rights groups proceed, cautioning that overbroad agency actions could raise constitutional concerns.
