Trump firing DEI staff blockedA federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from firing 19 staffers at the CIA and Office of the Director of National Intelligence who'd worked on initiatives for diversity, equity and inclusion programs, which President Donald Trump had ordered terminated.

U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga in eastern Virginia rejected the request for a temporary block on Trump’s policy on Feb. 27, ruling the staffers could ask for reassignment.But the CIA said the staffers had no right of review over their firings.

Trenga shifted course Monday, deciding the intelligence staffers deserved the opportunity to appeal their firings and to be considered for other jobs.

Kevin Carroll, a lawyer representing the staffers and a former CIA caseworker, said ODNI "to their credit" had offered to consider two of the staffers for transfers but CIA refused.
