Filter Out the Noise – What Employers Need to Know About the Trump Administration Changes
February 22, 2025
On February 21, Judge Adam B. Abelson in the District Court for Maryland issued a preliminary injunction enjoining defendants (other than the President) from acting under parts of EO 14173. Specifically, the defendants are ordered not to: “pause, freeze, impede, block, cancel, or terminate any awards, contracts or obligations . . . or change the terms of any Current Obligation,” make federal contractors certify that they do not engage in DEI practices that violate anti-discrimination laws, or bring any enforcement actions (including FCA claims) based on the EO’s certification requirement. The government is still permitted to make lists of organizations to investigate. We will keep you apprised of any further developments.
