Federal agencies are reportedly abandoning discrimination cases in response to President Trump’s directives to scale back anti-discrimination protections layered over decades.

The executive order spurred a wider withdrawal or closure of civil rights enforcement actions across multiple federal departments, including education, housing, trade, justice, and the EEOC.

The president ordered agencies to deprioritize discrimination cases that rely on disparate impact analyses, framing a rollback of long-standing anti-discrimination regulation.

News desks note that agencies have heeded the request, potentially winding down enforcement actions in this area.

There is no public tally, but advocates say active civil rights enforcement significantly decreased during this period.

Kenni Miller, a former Sheetz employee from Altoona, Pennsylvania, was fired after a background check despite good prior performance and later joined a class-action EEOC lawsuit alleging racially discriminatory hiring.

The EEOC case against Sheetz was dropped soon after the new administration took office as part of a broad executive order directing agencies to deprioritize such cases.
