Reg. 8633 (Jan. 21, 2025), which established "the policy of the United States to protect the civil rights of all Americans and to promote individual initiative, excellence, and hard work." Id. § 2. To this end, the President
"order[ed] all agencies to enforce our longstanding civil-rights laws and to combat illegal private-sector DEI preferences, mandates, policies, programs, and activities." Id. As part of these efforts, Attorney General Bondi has directed that the Department align its "litigating positions with [the] requirement of equal dignity and respect."
