Pfizer publicly dropped race-based selection criteria from an internship program that discriminated against white and Asian applicants, settling a lawsuit with Do No Harm, an organization committed to safeguarding the medical industry from leftwing ideology.

The pharmaceutical giant settled with Do No Harm after the organization launched a lawsuit challenging Pfizer’s Breakthrough Fellowship program, which originally excluded white and Asian would-be applicants on the basis of their race.

Do No Harm Chairman Dr. Stanley Goldfarb touted the victory, noting that the settlement amounts to an admission from the company that they were previously engaged in unlawful racial discrimination.

“While Pfizer would like to quietly sweep their unlawful discrimination under the rug, their settlement acknowledges what we said all along: racially discriminatory programs are unlawful and will not go unchallenged,” Goldfarb told The Daily Wire. “For far too long, companies like Pfizer have allowed political ideology to hijack its core responsibilities.”

The lawsuit, launched by Do No Harm in September 2022, alleged that Pfizer was in violation of the Civil Rights Act, with the organization representing two individuals who were ineligible for the program.

The fellowship program from Pfizer originally stated that eligible applicants must “meet the program’s goals of increasing the pipeline for Black/African American, Latino/Hispanic and Native Americans.”

“In other words, White and Asian applicants aren’t welcome. This is the exact kind of racial discrimination that so-called ‘anti-racism’ requires,” Do No Harm wrote at the time. While the suit was first dismissed in December 2022, Do No Harm successfully appealed before finally winning the case in January 2024.

The victory comes as corporations across various industries have engaged in anti-white, anti-Asian discrimination in the name of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

IBM hosted two internship opportunities, including one that barred white and Asian applicants and another that barred male applicants — unless those men identified as women — while Robert Kraft’s company, best known for owning the New England Patriots, appeared to engage in anti-white discrimination when it advertised a job posting that listed “BIPOC,” a term that means “black, indigenous, people of color,” as a job qualification.

J.P. Morgan’s now discontinued “launching leaders undergraduate program” was only open to “Black, Hispanic and Native American sophomores and juniors from all majors who are interested in financial services and have a 3.5 GPA minimum,” while a Wells Fargo fellowship was limited to “underrepresented candidates.”

The Trump administration appears poised to crack down on discriminatory DEI programs in the corporate world, with the president naming a vocal critic of DEI as the Acting Director of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

A private Christian school in Dallas hosted a conference on “belonging and inclusion” that featured talks promoting so-called “gender-affirming care” and deriding “toxic masculinity.”

Students at the Parish Episcopal School — a private Christian school that charges nearly $37,000 a year for tuition for high schoolers — were required to attend two talks at the conference, with many of the discussions promoting far-left ideologies.

The talk promoting transgender ideology was titled “Defer, Delay, Deny: The State of Gender Affirming Care for Adult Transgender Americans” and was offered by a high school teacher.

“Transgender Americans still face many barriers when seeking timely and effective life-saving medication and procedures. Medical professionals can defer treatment. Wait times for surgeries can be delayed years,” the description of the talk reads. “Insurance companies can use deceptive language to deny federal protections.”

The description goes on to imply that medical interventions designed to allegedly change one’s sex are analogous to cases in which men or women receive treatments in line with their biological sex, such as when men undergo testosterone therapy.

“But transgender Americans are not the people who benefit from gender affirming care. Many cisgender Americans take medication or undergo procedures to affirm their gender identity without the same obstructions,” the description went on to say.

“This session investigates this discrepancy for American adults in the 21st century,” it adds. “Come learn about gender affirming care, the barriers transgender patients face, and how advocates are fighting to fix it.”

While other talks addressed apolitical topics like alcohol, communication styles, or cell phone usage, another talk at the school denigrated “toxic masculinity” and explored how feminine traits can be used to foster “healthy masculinity.”

“This session looks at traditional stereotypes and expectations as well as the broadening of the definition in a move towards “healthy masculinity,’” the description of the talk reads. “Healthy masculinity could be as simple as asking for help but also, a willingness to embrace traditionally feminine qualities (nurturing, compassion, caring) in order to build healthy relationships.”

There’s also another talk on “Power, Privilege, and Positionality in Organisation” that uses the framework of “health equity,” a derivative of Critical Race Theory that posits that differences in health outcomes among demographic groups are the result of discrimination and oppression.

“This session explores how power and privilege positions individuals and groups for change,” the talk’s description reads. “Participants will be part of two interactive activities including a simulation as we understand how power is created and maintained, and we will use healthcare organisations and health equity as our central constructs.”

“We will have a conversation about how we can develop as equity-minded leaders with some strategies and resources to get us started on this journey,” it adds.

Parish Episcopal School is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the largest private school organization in the country. The NAIS has been marred by a series of investigative reports into the organization revealing that it pushed transgender ideology and Critical Race Theory, even consulting a former Black Panther for guidance.

Parish Episcopal School specifically has a history of pushing leftwing ideologies, despite its location in deep-red Texas. It rejected law enforcement’s offer to give a presentation to students at the 2023 conference on the risk of fentanyl because “the topic would talk about the open border, and they felt it would be too controversial.” The conference included various controversial topics, however, including refugee resettlement, transgenderism, and toxic masculinity.

The school also previously created racially segregated “affinity group” programs for students, asking them to only attend meetings of the group that reflected their racial backgrounds.

The Parish Episcopal School did not respond to a request for comment.

President Donald Trump is set to sign an executive order directing the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security to prepare the Guantanamo Bay detention camp to hold as many as 30,000 criminal illegal aliens.

Trump announced his impending executive order at a signing event for the Laken Riley Act, an immigration security bill named after a 22 year-old victim of an illegal alien murderer. The Guantanamo Bay detention facility, located in Cuba, has historically been used to detain terror suspects. Shortly after taking office, Trump signed an executive order designating cartels as Foreign Terror Organizations.

“Today, I’m also signing an Executive Order to instruct the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to begin preparing the 30,000 person migrant facility at Guantanamo Bay … to detain the worst criminal illegal aliens threatening the American people.”

“Some of them are so bad we don’t even trust the countries to hold them,” he said of criminal illegal aliens. “We don’t want them coming back so we’re going to send them out to Guantanamo. This is going to double our capacity immediately.”

“I hereby direct the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security to take all appropriate actions to expand the Migrant Operations Center at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay to full capacity to provide additional detention space for high-priority criminal aliens unlawfully present in the United States, and to address attendant immigration enforcement needs identified by the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security,” Trump’s executive order reads. 

It goes on to add that the memo “is issued in order to halt the border invasion, dismantle criminal cartels, and restore national sovereignty.”

Trump’s comments came at an event at which the President signed the Laken Riley Act, an immigration bill named after the 22 year-old Georgia nursing student who was brutally murdered by an illegal alien from Venezuela last year while she was out for a morning jog.

The legislation will require the detention of illegal aliens charged with theft or violent crimes. The bill received bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress. “She’s going to save a lot of lives, she’s going to be responsible for saving a lot of lives,” Trump said to the parents of Riley at the event. He also accused the previous administration of opening America’s borders and allowing “world’s most dangerous criminals straight into” American communities.

Under the Trump administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has set out to capture and repatriate illegal aliens, with a special focus on illegal aliens convicted of other crimes in addition to illegally crossing the border into the United States.

From drug traffickers in Baltimore to cartel members in Houston, ICE is deporting criminals illegal aliens across the country.@MaryMargOlohan and I reported for @realDailyWire on some of the worst offenders captured this Sunday. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/jDlZOJmx3C

ICE caught several criminal illegal aliens just this Sunday, The Daily Wire reported. Federal immigration enforcement agents caught a member of the MS-13 cartel, the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, a man in possession of child pornography, a drug and weapons trafficker, and multiple violent criminals across the country on Sunday.

UPDATE: This article has been updated to provide text of the executive order after it was signed.

Colony Ridge developer William “Trey” Harris, one of the men behind the sprawling Texas land development known for systematically recruiting illegal aliens, was the largest donor to the most recent campaign of the local sheriff who let him out of jail early after he was arrested for drinking and driving.

Harris, who was arrested with a blood-alcohol content above 0.15 in May 2024, received early release from jail after first being sentenced to 45 days due to “good conduct credit.” Early releases must be approved by Sheriff Clint McRae himself. A report in the Houston Landing called Harris, who only served half his sentence, “the beneficiary of uncommon treatment given by longtime Walker County Sheriff Clint McRae.”

This “uncommon treatment” came months after Harris made a $5,000 donation to McRae’s campaign in February 2024, the largest reported donation to McRae during the campaign cycle.

Sheriff McCrae did not respond to a request for comment. When questioned at the time of Harris’s release, McRae told local media that he had “absolutely no shame” about his decision and “would do it exactly the same way if the situation were to occur again.” The sheriff was reportedly contacted by two unnamed judges who encouraged him to sign off on an early release for Harris.

Colony Ridge spokesman Art Rascon addressed the original controversy by directing any questions about Harris’s early release to the sheriff and the judges who recommended his early release.

Harris’s good behavior has not lasted since his release for the DUI charges, however. The Colony Ridge developer was arrested again in late December by the Walker County Sheriff for public intoxication.

It isn’t just the Colony Ridge developer, but also the Colony Ridge development itself, that is in trouble with the law. Colony Ridge faces a joint lawsuit from the Department of Justice and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the first predatory mortgage lending case from the agencies in American history.

The suit claims that Colony Ridge “targeted Hispanic consumers with predatory loans, misled borrowers about the water, sewer, and electrical infrastructure on its lots, and exploited language barriers by conducting most of its marketing in Spanish while offering important transaction documents only in English.”

Colony Ridge was also hit with a lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, which similarly alleges that the development uses deceptive trade practices to churn buyers through a cycle of foreclosures.

Paxton told The Daily Wire that “literally every sale” made by Colony Ridge could be fraudulent, with each violation coming with a penalty of at least $10,000. With an estimated 50,000 to 75,000 residents, the financial penalties could be catastrophic for the development.

Colony Ridge also faces an ongoing investigation from the Environmental Protection Agency, the scope and results of which have yet to be made public. The development is also reportedly facing investigations from the IRS, the Army Corps of Engineers, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

While the development’s practices may have violated the law, the consumer-finance lending scheme and an aggressive marketing campaign urging foreigners to “own land in the United States” has brought in numerous criminals and multiple illegal alien murderers, including some wanted by the international police. Another man, an illegal alien smuggler who was found to be responsible for a “mass casualty event” was also caught living in Colony Ridge after buying multiple properties at the development.

A representative of Trey Harris did not respond to a request for comment.

The federal government is spending a quarter of a million taxpayer dollars to celebrate “transrural” Americans — older people who live in rural areas and identify as transgender.

The National Endowment for the Humanities granted $247,000 for “The TransRural Lives Project,” a “digital storytelling project exploring and celebrating the lives of transgender older adults who live in or have strong ties to rural areas and small towns in the Pacific Northwest.” The program is run by professors from Central Washington University in conjunction with Helen House, an organization that operates out of a residential home and invites children as young as 13 to meetups.

“Helen House gives power to, and validates, SOGIE youth and young adults ages 13 to 24, fostering self-exploration, self-expression, and self-acceptance,” the organization’s website reads.

President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order intended to purge diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from the federal government and end any federal spending in support of the DEI agenda in academia and the private sector. A spokesman for Central Washington University told The Daily Wire that the federal funding for the “TransRural Lives Project” has not been affected, however.

The three-year project, which won the federal contract at the tail end of the Biden administration, is helmed by M. Eliatamby-O’Brien, an Associate Professor in Central Washington University’s English Department who uses “they/them” pronouns. “Their research focuses on the experiences of gender, sexual, and racially-minoritized forced migrants through engagement with digital life narratives, digital storytelling, and multimodal rhetorics,” Brian’s biography reads.

The project has already collected the stories of multiple men who identify as women and live in the Pacific Northwest. “Veronica Steed is a 65-year-old white, crossdresser who came out around 2000,” one story reads, with another biography focusing on Elior, “an activist whose been feeling pretty burnt out for a few years now.”

The National Endowment for the Humanities did not respond to a request for comment. Central Washington University declined to comment.

This isn’t the first time the federal government has allocated taxpayer dollars to far-left, pro-transgender causes. The Department of Agriculture agreed to spend $50,000 of taxpayer money on an organization that works to “diversify the outdoors” by hosting LGBT-specific wilderness conservation trips for teenagers, The Daily Wire reported. And the Department of Health and Human Services approved a $700,000 grant to create “an inclusive teen pregnancy program for transgender boys.”

“Youth who are assigned female at birth … are at risk for negative sexual health outcomes yet are effectively excluded from sexual health programs because gender-diverse youth do not experience the cisgender, heteronormative teen sexual education messaging available to them as salient or applicable,” the award description reads.

An illegal alien and his two accomplices admitted that they killed a Houston woman in the Colony Ridge development, a sprawling development notorious for attracting illegal aliens through potentially fraudulent marketing and financial schemes.

The three defendants, Kevin Geovanny Rivera-Ortiz, Katherine Alvarez-Flores, and Joel Garcia-Martinez, pled guilty to killing Emily Patricia Rodriguez after luring her away from her workplace. The three accepted a plea deal and each will serve 50-year sentences.

Rivera-Ortiz has been identified as an illegal alien, while the immigration status of the two other defendants remains unknown. Rivera-Ortiz and Alvarez-Flores both shot the woman while Garcia-Martinez acted as their driver.

The three lured Rodriguez away from her place of work, Niko Niko’s Restaurant in Houston, saying that they would socialize before taking her to Colony Ridge.

Liberty County District Attorney said that a motive for the killing is not yet known, however, it may be gang related. Illegal alien Rivera-Ortiz was allegedly the ex-boyfriend of the victim.

The case is one of many crimes connected to the Colony Ridge development, which systematically attracted illegal aliens via a marketing campaign urging buyers to “own land in the United States.”

The Department of Homeland Security, ICE, and the Department of Justice recently carried out a joint operation that led to the arrest of an illegal alien smuggler who was hiding out in Colony Ridge and was involved in a “mass casualty event” when a smuggling operation went awry and caused deaths of more than 50 people.

Jose Agapito Ventura was arrested exactly three years after his alleged involvement in a mass smuggling operation that led to the death of more than 50 illegal aliens en route to the U.S.

Here’s his latest purchase from Colony Ridge this year: pic.twitter.com/THvfJ0aZSJ

— Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸 (@SpencerLndqst) December 10, 2024

The illegal alien smuggler had four properties at Colony Ridge, with his purchases taking place between 2019 and late 2024.

Two illegal alien murder suspects who lived in Colony Ridge were also arrested earlier this year. One of the men, described by authorities as a “fugitive murder suspect wanted by Interpol,” had already been deported from the United States twice before establishing a residence in Colony Ridge.

Those two arrests came after a teen was allegedly abducted at gunpoint inside the development and was shot at as he fled his captors.

President Donald Trump took executive actions today preventing the use of taxpayer dollars for abortions both in foreign countries and within the United States.

The first measure signed by Trump, a presidential memorandum referred to as the Mexico City policy, prevents taxpayer funds from being sent to foreign non-governmental organizations that perform or promote abortions. Trump also signed an executive order strengthening the Hyde Amendment, a ban on the use of federal funds for abortion.

“I further direct the Secretary of State to take all necessary actions, to the extent permitted by law, to ensure that U.S. taxpayer dollars do not fund organizations or programs that support or participate in the management of a program of coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization,” reads the memorandum reinstating the Mexico City policy, sent out by the White House Office of Communications.

“It is the policy of the United States, consistent with the Hyde Amendment, to end the forced use of Federal taxpayer dollars to fund or promote elective abortion,” the president’s executive order on the Hyde Amendment states.

The Biden administration rescinded the Mexico City policy, though Biden was unable to overturn the Hyde Amendment. A White House official said that the move by Trump is an effort to undo Biden’s abortion policies and reinstate the status quo that existed before the Democrat took office, RealClearPolitics reported.

The Mexico City policy was first instated during the Reagan administration, but has been rescinded and reimplemented numerous times, with each Democrat president dropping the policy and every Republican president reinstating it. The measure ensures “that no U.S. taxpayer money supports foreign organizations that perform or actively promote abortion in other nations.”

While the Biden administration was unable to overturn the Hyde amendment, it did take several pro-abortion measures after Roe v. Wade was overturned in June of 2022. Biden promised to codify Roe into law if he was given a Democratic majority in the House and Senate, but took a range of actions through the executive branch to expand access to abortion.

His administration directed the Department of Defense to reimburse transportation costs for servicemembers traveling across state lines to receive abortions, calling the policy critical for military readiness. Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services even issued a policy ordering that unaccompanied minor pregnant illegal aliens be given transportation to receive abortions if they wanted one.

Trump’s actions come right after Vice President JD Vance took the stage at the March for Life to give his first speech as vice president.

“It is a blessing to know the truth, and the truth is that unborn life is worthy of protection,” Vance said on the National Mall. “We are joyful to March for Life. We are joyful to know that that picture on an ultrasound, that is a picture of a baby with hopes and dreams and potential to come. It is a joy and a blessing to fight for the unborn, to work for the unborn, and to March for Life.”

The Biden State Department’s office TVs were tuned into a state-funded Venezuelan propaganda channel that some say operates as an unregistered foreign agent to push the agenda of anti-American actors, The Daily Wire can report.

TVs at the Biden State Department were tuned into Telesur, a state-funded Venezuelan outlet that received 70 percent of its initial funding from the regime of anti-American socialist Hugo Chavez and even featured Chavez’s weekly show, “Alo, Presidente,” while he was alive.

The outlet also receives funding from the left-wing governments of Cuba, Nicaragua, Ecuador, and Bolivia, and has been slammed as a purveyor of “fake news, ‘whataboutism,’ and disinformation” as it works to “demonize the West, undermine the credibility of Western news outlets, paint Western leaders as hypocrites, and promote a narrative of global resistance against America and its allies.”

The channel has since been removed from the State Department office TVs, The Daily Wire has learned.

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) previously called for the channel to be investigated by the Department of Justice in 2018, charging that the channel “appears to act under foreign direction and engages in political activities in the interest of its foreign principal, primarily the government of Venezuela.”

“I am writing to request the Administration help the people of the United States by investigating the status of Telesur under the Foreign Agents Registration Act,” Wilson, who contended that the channel acted as an unregistered foreign agent of the Nicholas Maduro regime, wrote in 2018. “The Telesur network is to Venezuela what Russia Today is to Russia, a propaganda outfit masquerading as a news organization broadcasting information that undermines U.S. interests in Latin America.”

“Access to the United States market is a privilege, not a right and the American taxpayers deserve to know if TeleSur affiliates in the United States are acting as foreign agents of a foreign government such as Venezuela,” he went on to write.

Argentina, which previously funded the outlet and was one of the founding backers, revoked funding in 2016 under the leadership of then-President Mauricio Macri. Uruguay pulled its funding four years later, in 2020.

An NBC affiliate in Boston complained of “growing concerns” of deportation raids performed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the federal law enforcement agency caught illegal alien criminals wanted for crimes such as murder and rape.

NBC10 published a story headlined, “After federal agents spotted in East Boston, concerns grow over potential ICE raids” shortly after federal law enforcement agents captured illegal alien criminals accused of a variety of violent crimes.

“There’s growing concerns over potential ICE raids locally after federal agents were spotted by NBC Boston cameras entering homes in East Boston Wednesday and taking at least one person into custody,” the NBC10 story read. “These operations come amid heightened alert for mass roundups and deportations promised by President Donald Trump, but federal authorities would not confirm they are related to that effort.”

The report was slammed on X by Bill Melugin, the Fox News National Correspondent who embedded with ICE on their series of raids in Boston.

“I’m curious what concerns there would be over the following being removed from the streets by ICE Boston yesterday?” he wrote on X, explaining that the federal law enforcement agency captured two alleged members of MS-13, a Haitian gang member with 17 convictions, multiple alleged rapists, and an alleged heroin trafficker, among others.

One Haitian illegal alien and alleged gang member was captured on video yelling, “I’m not going back to Haiti,” and praising former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden. “Yo Biden forever bro. Thank Obama for everything he did for me bro,” he said as he was placed in the back of a police car.

President Donald Trump pledged during his campaign to carry out the largest mass deportation operation in American history. The 47th president signed a slate of immigration-related executive orders within hours of taking office, including declaring a national emergency on the southern border, designating cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, and suspending refugee resettlement.

Trump’s deportation plan enjoys significant public support, with one recent poll from The New York Times finding that nearly 9 in 10 Americans support deporting illegal aliens with criminal records. That same survey also found that 63 percent of Americans support deporting immigrants who are here illegally and arrived over the past four years and that a majority of Americans, 55 percent, support deporting all illegal aliens.

Nearly 60 percent of respondents in a CBS News poll said they would support an effort to deport all illegal aliens from the United States, not just those who have been convicted of a violent crime.

President Donald Trump’s executive order purging DEI from government has made its way to the Department of the Interior, one of the wokest agencies in the federal government.

Shortly after taking office, Trump signed an executive order “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEl Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions.” In response, the Office of Personnel Management began implementing the order with a memo instructing agency heads to begin the purge of DEI offices and officials.

An internal Interior Department email obtained by The Daily Wire indicates that the agency, previously home to elaborate DEI exercises, has begun to purge the agenda in compliance with the President’s order.

“Dear Interior Employees, we are taking steps to close all agency Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) offices and end all DEIA-related contracts in accordance with President Trump’s executive orders,” the email from Acting Secretary of the Interior Walter Cruickshank says before going on to say that the DEI agenda “divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars and resulted in shameful discrimination.”

Obtained by The Daily Wire

“We are aware of efforts by some in government to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language” it goes on to say before asking employees to promptly report any attempts to conceal ongoing DEI efforts. The email also states that “Interior is withdrawing all final or pending documents, directives, orders, materials and equity plans issued by the agency” and that “all DEIA-related training must be canceled.”

Prior to Trump’s return to the White House, the Interior Department was one of the wokest agencies in the federal government, an investigative series from The Daily Wire found.

The department celebrated “Transgender Day of Visibility” by showing a documentary about queer inclusion in the field of marine biology.

Woke Biden bureaucrats are celebrating ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’ by screening a film about a “queer conservationist” and a hosting panel of LGBT employees.

“Transgender Day of Visibility is an internationally recognized event that is celebrated annually on March 31st to help raise awareness and increase understanding of the challenges, importance and struggles of our transgender, non-binary and gender non-conforming communities,” an email obtained by The Daily Wire said. “The Department will mark this important occasion by showing a short documentary called ‘Diving for Rays: A Queer Conservationist’s Story.”

One internal document at the agency instructed employees to avoid gendered terms like “husband,” “son,” and “daughter,” and even instructed them to use the “they/them” pronouns for individuals rather than assume someone’s gender.

“When referring to individuals whose identified pronouns are not known or when the gender of a generic or hypothetical person is irrelevant within the context, use their name or a singular ‘they’ to avoid making assumptions about an individual’s gender,” the 104 page document reads. It also directed employees to replace “opposite sex” with “different sex,” replace “father/mother” with “parent, caregiver, care provider,” and replace “Aunt/Uncle” with “Parent’s sibling.”

Daily Wire host Matt Walsh also revealed that Interior Department bureaucrats recited a DEI poem at the agency’s “ally awards” ceremony. “I’m diversity, embrace me and we’ll journey far. I’m diversity, include me and we’ll reach the shining star,” the poem stated.

“Don’t exclude me due to a lack of knowledge. Welcome me like the recruit fresh out of college,” read one line of the poem. “Let me take a seat at the table, even though I may be differently able.”

The Biden State Department celebrated its leftwing DEI agenda just days before President Donald Trump scrapped the whole enterprise.

Earlier this month, the State Department released a report titled “U.S. Department of State DEIA Accomplishments 2021-2024 – Building A Workforce That Reflects America.” The report cataloged some of the radical measures the agency took to embed the far-left ideology into America’s foreign policy.

The report, which has since been removed from the State Department website, lists specific actions the State Department took in service of the DEI agenda, ranging from DEI events at embassies and consulates to formal policies dedicated to pushing the ideology.

“We made our recruiting fairer and more transparent. We incorporated commitment to diversity and inclusion as an important metric for Foreign and Civil Service evaluations,” former Secretary of State Anthony Blinken says at the outset of the report. “When the people making decisions on behalf of the American public don’t reflect the full diversity of our nation, we all lose, and that impacts our national security.”

At the consulate in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for example, officials “commemorated Black Consciousness Month with an event in which employees learned about inclusion of Afro-Brazilian culture through Capoeira music and LGBTQI+ culture through Vogue dance.”

The embassy in Panama City, meanwhile, “hosted inclusive language training on how the Spanish language discusses women and gender,” also discussing Panamanians with disabilities, LGBTQI+ Panamanians, Afro-Panamanians,” and “indigenous communities — specifically Wounaan Panamanians, and HIV-positive Panamanians and the stigmas they face.”

The embassy in Cambodia’s capital of Phnom Penh created a “DEIA Library for all ages, featuring over 150 books in English and Khmer on DEIA and the traditions and cultures of both the United States and Cambodia.”

The events at the consulates and embassies were not just one-off DEI celebrations, but were instead part of the State Department’s broader approach under former President Joe Biden and Blinken.

The agency also created a data dashboard with the demographic characteristics of civil service and foreign service officials, instituted a biennial “DEIA climate study,” and hosted “Start Out Right,” the first DEIA summit intended to “train 250 first-time Department managers from across the world on inclusive leadership.”

The Biden administration launched a whole-of-government approach to embed the DEI agenda throughout the entire federal government and its bureaucracy, establishing DEI offices, policies, and new roles for those tasked with advancing the ideology. The Trump administration has already rolled back these measures and is actively rooting out potential efforts by bureaucrats within the executive branch to rename and conceal the DEI agenda.

The Daily Wire documented the rise of DEI at the Biden State Department, which appointed activists to high-paying positions and tasked them with spreading leftwing dogmas on race and gender across the world. Those two officials — special envoys tasked with advancing far-left dogma on race and gender — both appear to have vacated their positions at the State Department.

Trump also signed an executive order intended to purge DEI from the State Department and all executive agencies. In response to the order, the Office of Personnel Management issued a memo directing agency heads to “send a notification to all employees of DEIA offices that they are being placed on paid administrative leave effective immediately as the agency takes steps to close/end all DEIA initiatives, offices, and programs.”

The federal Office of Personnel Management also provided agency heads with a template email to send to bureaucrats, which explains that the DEI actions of the previous administration “divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination.”

The Trump administration will be placing all federal diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) officials on paid leave by the end of the business day Wednesday, a document from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) says.

The OPM memo, which is being sent to the executive agencies as a result of President Donald Trump’s executive order “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEl Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions,” instructs agency heads to tell all DEI employees that they are being placed on leave immediately.

“Send a notification to all employees of DEIA offices that they are being placed on paid administrative leave effective immediately as the agency takes steps to close/end all DEIA initiatives, offices, and programs,” it reads.

“President Trump campaigned on ending the scourge of DEI from our federal government and returning America to a merit based society where people are hired based on their skills, not for the color of their skin,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. “This is another win for Americans of all races, religions, and creeds. Promises made, promises kept.”

The memo also instructs agency heads to take down all social media pages associated with their DEIA offices and “send an agency-wide notice to employees informing them of the closure and asking employees if they know of any efforts to disguise these programs by using coded or imprecise language.”

Executive agencies are expected to send OPM a list of all “DEIA-related agency contracts” and “DEIA offices,” and to cancel any upcoming DEIA trainings.

OPM also provided agency heads with a template email to send to bureaucrats, which explains that the DEI actions of the previous administration “divided Americans by race, wasted taxpayer dollars, and resulted in shameful discrimination.”

The move from the Trump administration is an attempt to undo the Biden administration’s wide-reaching campaign to embed far-Left DEI policies and personnel throughout the executive branch. One study from Do No Harm found that the Democrat administration took at least 500 different actions to embed the ideology within the federal bureaucracy and executive branch.

Under the former president, intelligence officials were invited to have their nails painted the colors of the transgender flag, left-wing activists in the State Department traveled the globe pushing Critical Race Theory and transgender ideology, the National Security Agency warned of “white fragility” and “transmisogyny,” and bureaucrats organized in identity-based employee groups that often doubled as activist nodes, a series of Daily Wire investigations revealed.

Outside organizations also received lucrative government contracts to advance DEI, with the Pentagon hiring a public university to create a discriminatory career pipeline program and a think tank drafting plans to mitigate resistance against the race-based ideology.

State Department Secretary Marco Rubio will institute a review and reapproval system for all official travel conducted by members of the State Department.

The measure from President Trump’s newly-confirmed Secretary of State is part of a broader attempt to ensure members of the executive branch operate in a manner consistent with the goals of the Trump administration.

Rubio’s new travel approval system may also be used to ensure that State Department officials do not further left-wing political aims while on trips to foreign countries.

Under the Biden administration, State Department officials were sent on international travel in order to push far-Left ideologies to foreign countries, a Daily Wire investigation revealed. Jessica Stern, the State Department’s former Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Persons, traveled to at least 22 different countries on all six habitable continents as she spread transgender ideology on the taxpayer dime.

Stern marched along a self-proclaimed “transvestite sl*t” in Brazil and celebrated when she saw children at a pride parade she attended in Lithuania.

While in Brazil, Stern talked to civil society organizations about “the importance of excluding gender markers from the national ID system,” as well as “tackling conversion therapy practices, and uniting with Indigenous and Afro-descendant LGBTQI+ persons to end intersecting forms of discrimination.” She also met with Brazil’s Minister of Human Rights, Foreign Affairs, Health, Labor, Justice, and Native People.

Stern also went on to travel to Stockholm, Sweden, to meet with members of the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, and members of Swedish Parliament.

There was also Desiree Cormier Smith, who served under the Biden administration as the State Department’s Special Representative for Racial Equity and Justice and also pushed left-wing ideologies as she embarked on international travel. Both Stern and Cormier Smith appear to have vacated their positions, The Daily Wire reported yesterday.

Under Rubio’s directive, Trump administration officials will also be able to review and cancel trips that were scheduled prior to Trump’s return to the presidency.

 Representative Brian Babin (R-TX) is set to introduce a bill this week that would end birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens and put an end to “birth tourism.”

The Congressman from the 36th district of Texas will be joined by more than 20 Republican cosponsors who will sign onto the bill. The effort comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order challenging birthright citizenship just hours after being inaugurated as the 47th president.

“It’s going to have a huge impact on our immigration system because it’s going to close loopholes that exploit birthright citizenship, and discourage illegal immigration and end the misuse of this really, this completely misinterpreted privilege,” Babin explained. “We cannot continue to have this abuse.”

If passed, the law would also limit birthright citizenship so that it couldn’t be used for “birth tourism,” a practice in which wealthy foreigners travel to the United States to give birth so that the child will be an American citizen. Neither children of illegal aliens nor children of immigrants with temporary visas would be eligible for birthright citizenship.

The effort to limit birthright citizenship has already been met with a legal challenge by the American Civil Liberties Union and other organizations, but Babin says that the suit will allow the Supreme Court to reconsider the issue.

“I welcome this lawsuit because we have to get this into the U.S. Supreme Court. It’s probably going to take several years for this to wind its way through the court system. But we want the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on this and give us a final ruling, because it has been misinterpreted.”

Trump signed several different executive orders pertaining to border security and immigration, including one declaring a national emergency at the border, an order to reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy, and another designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

His flurry of executive orders was celebrated by Republican Study Committee Chairman August Pflugler (R-TX), who told The Daily Wire that “Biden surrendered our border to chaos – but President Trump is wasting no time taking it back.”

“These executive orders are exactly what the American people demanded when they voted for law and order: military deployment to the border, designating cartels as terrorists, and ending the Democrats’ catch-and-release scam,” he added. “The Republican Study Committee will work tirelessly alongside President Trump to seal our border, defend our communities, and make America safe again. This is what real leadership looks like: promises made, promises kept to the American people.”

A bishop asked President Donald Trump to “have mercy” on “transgender children” who “fear for their lives” and illegal aliens during her message at the National Prayer Service.

The comments from Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde come just after the newly inaugurated president signed a wide array of executive orders last night aimed at purging far-left transgender ideology from American institutions and securing the southern border.

“In the name of our God, I ask you, to have mercy on the people in our country who are scared now,” Bishop Budde said during the National Prayer Service. “There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in Democratic, Republican, and Independent families who fear for their lives.”

“And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat-packing plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals, they, they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation,” Budde went on to say to the president. “But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches …”

“I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands, to find compassion and welcome here,” she went on to say.

Budde’s statements come after the Republican president signed an executive order proclaiming that there are only two genders and blasting “efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex.” The order also mandates that executive agencies stop promoting gender ideology in their own operations and that federal funds are not given to grantees for the purpose of promoting gender ideology.

Trump also signed a range of different executive orders pertaining to immigration, including one declaring a national emergency at the border, an order to curtail birthright citizenship for illegal aliens, and another designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. The president is also expected to begin a wave of illegal alien deportations in the coming days.

Budde has a history of criticizing Trump and blasted him years ago after he used riot police to clear Black Lives Matter protestors out of the area surrounding the White House, even saying that his message was “antithetical to the teachings of Jesus and everything that we as a church stand for.”

Two far-left State Department officials profiled by The Daily Wire appear to have departed the executive agencies in the wake of Trump’s inauguration, with each of their profiles scrubbed from the government website.

The State Department Special Representative for Racial Equity and Justice Desiree Cormier Smith and Jessica Stern, the Special Envoy to Advance the Human Rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Intersex Persons, appear to have left the executive agency tasked with managing the United States’ diplomacy operations.

The Daily Wire reported in November that the Trump administration could fire both officials in his attempt to purge the far-left diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda from the federal government. Now neither Cormier Smith’s profile nor Stern’s profile are active on the State Department website. The State Department did not respond to a request for comment.

Cormier Smith previously worked for Democrat megadonor and billionaire George Soros and was tasked under the Biden administration with creating “global partnerships to combat systemic racism, discrimination, and xenophobia.” She repeatedly endorsed the core tenets of Critical Race Theory, arguing in one interview that “structural racism, discrimination, and xenophobia are global scourges that require global solutions,” and that “violent white supremacy” is a “global threat.”

The Daily Wire also revealed that Cormier Smith had a troubling social media history in which she called the 45th and 47th president “a blessing to dictators around the world” and cheered on a leftwing activist who called police officers “soulless white folks.”

Stern, the Biden State Department’s LGBT Special Envoy, traveled the globe as she pushed transgender ideology.

Stern has marched alongside transgender Brazilians and celebrated at the sight of children at LGBT pride events. The State Department official’s priorities under the Biden-Harris administration have included establishing “legal gender recognition based on the principle of self-determination” and addressing the “vulnerability of LGBTQI asylum seekers and refugees.”

Stern recognized in one interview that a Trump victory could mean the end of her time as a Special Envoy, saying “we can’t say for sure that we’ll exist in two years,” before adding “Our eye is always on the clock.”

The Trump White House has committed itself to purging leftwing ideology from the federal government. The administration may also end race-based bureaucrat affinity groups, cancel pride month celebrations, abolish identity-based recruitment and hiring programs, and review grantmaking.

The Trump administration has already shut down the controversial Customs and Border Patrol One application, which streamlined nearly one million illegal aliens into the United States.

Just moments after Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, his administration shut down the CBP One app, which allowed migrants to remotely schedule asylum hearings and be released into the United States. Existing appointments have also been canceled.

An update from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection says that “the functionalities of CBP One that previously allowed undocumented aliens to submit advance information and schedule appointments at eight southwest border points of entry is no longer available” before noting that appointments have been canceled.

Documents from the Department of Homeland Security indicate that more than a quarter million “inadmissible aliens” entered the United States through the app. Under the Biden administration, House Republicans warned that cartels exploited the system.

Trump is expected to sign a wide-reaching slate of immigration-related executive orders on his first day in office and declare a national emergency on the border, allowing the Department of Defense to send members of the National Guard and Armed Forces to secure the border and build physical barriers.

The new president is also expected to end birthright citizenship for illegal aliens, suspend refugee resettlement, resume building the wall, and designate cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, White House officials explained.

The officials noted that he will reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy, which orders migrants to remain in the country while asylum claims are processed, also telling reporters that the president will work to end the current asylum system altogether.

The House of Representatives will also focus on immigration in the first days of the Trump administration. The House Judiciary Committee’s first hearing in 2025 will be titled “Restoring Immigration Enforcement in America” and will discuss “what the Trump administration can do to restore integrity to America’s immigration system,” The Daily Wire exclusively reported.

The Trump White House outlined its main priorities in a day one fact sheet circulated on Capitol Hill and obtained by The Daily Wire.

The document laid out the four priorities of the new Trump administration, listed as “Make America Safe Again,” “Make America Affordable And Energy Dominant Again,” “Drain the Swamp,” and “Bring Back American Values.”

The fact sheet opened with a commitment to secure the southern border, deport illegal aliens, and crack down on the cartels. “President Trump will take bold action to secure our border and protect American communities. This includes ending Biden’s catch-and-release policies, reinstating Remain in Mexico, building the wall, ending asylum for illegal border crossers, cracking down on criminal sanctuaries, and enhancing vetting and screening of aliens,” the opening line of the document reads.

“President Trump’s deportation operation will address the record border crossings of criminal aliens under the prior administration,” it goes on to say. “The Armed Forces, including the National Guard, will engage in border security, which is national security, and will be deployed to the border to assist existing law enforcement personnel.”

President Trump will also “begin the process of designating cartels, including the dangerous Tren de Aragua, as foreign terrorist organizations and use the Alien Enemies Act to remove them.”

The document also adds that Trump will suspend all refugee resettlement and seek the death penalty for illegal aliens who “maim and murder Americans” and those who kill law enforcement. Trump White House officials announced earlier today that he would enact a slate of executive orders on immigration today after being sworn in.

The day one fact sheet extends beyond immigration and to the economy and energy policy under the title “Make America Affordable And Energy Dominant Again.” It begins with a pledge from the President to “unleash American energy by ending Biden’s policies of climate extremism, streamlining permitting, and reviewing for rescission all regulations that impose undue burdens on energy production and use.”

“President Trump will announce the America First Trade Policy,” it states, adding that he “will declare an energy emergency and use all necessary resources to build critical infrastructure,” “take emergency measures to reduce the cost of living,” and withdraw from the Paris Climate Accords.

Also on the Trump White House document is “Drain The Swamp,” which includes “planning for improved accountability of government bureaucrats” and “directing the State Department to have “an America-First Foreign Policy.”

It also specifically outlines Trump’s impending purge of the diversity, equity, and inclusion agenda from the federal government. “He will freeze bureaucrat hiring except in essential areas to end the onslaught of useless and overpaid DEI activists buried into the federal workforce. He will pause burdensome and radical regulations not yet in effect that Biden announced,” it states.

The Trump White House also intends to “end the weaponization of government against political rivals,” the document states.

“President Trump is also ending the unconstitutional censorship by the federal government,” it adds. “No longer will government employees pick and require the erasure of entirely true speech.”

The final item on the priority list, “Bring Back American Values,” says that Trump “will establish male and female as biological reality and protect women from radical gender ideology,” while “American landmarks will be named to appropriately honor our Nation’s history.”

President Donald Trump will declare a national emergency at the southern border and take a wide range of immigration-related executive actions, incoming White House officials told The Daily Wire.

Trump is expected to sign 10 immigration-related executive orders shortly after returning to the White House to deploy the military to the border, suspend refugee resettlement, and end birthright citizenship.

Incoming White House officials say that Trump will declare a national emergency at the border, allowing him to deploy the military to the border and immediately begin constructing physical barriers. The order will direct the Secretary of Defense to deploy both members of the armed forces and the National Guard.

The officials also say that Trump will reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy, suspend the asylum process, and designate the cartels as terrorist organizations with a specific focus on the removal of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

Trump will also end the Biden administration’s catch-and-release policy, resume construction of the border wall, and reinstate the death penalty for illegal aliens who kill law enforcement or are convicted of a capital crime. Trump will also enhance immigrant screening operations. 

The incoming White House officials also added that Trump intends to fulfill his pledge to the American people to carry out the largest mass deportation operation in American history and begin with illegal aliens with criminal records. Recent polling has found that nearly 9 in 10 Americans support deporting illegal aliens with criminal records.

The House of Representatives will also focus on immigration in the first days of the Trump administration. The House Judiciary Committee’s first hearing in 2025 will be titled “Restoring Immigration Enforcement in America” and will discuss “what the Trump administration can do to restore integrity to America’s immigration system,” The Daily Wire exclusively reported.
