Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division to drop lawsuits
challenging police and firefighter hiring practices. Filed by the previous administration,
these cases targeted common aptitude tests as discriminatory despite no evidence of intentional bias,
Bondi emphasized that public safety personnel should be chosen based on merit,
not DEI quotas. She and President Trump are committed to restoring merit-based hiring,
ensuring police and firefighters are selected for their skills, not political agendas.
This dismissal marks the first step in eliminating unlawful DEI preferences.
