Report: Trump reduces civil rights safeguards

The report highlights that the U.S. federal government significantly retreated from protecting civil rights during the early years of Donald Trump's second term. Agencies responsible for fighting discrimination experienced substantial cuts in both staff and roles, with policies implemented by the administration deprioritizing federal civil rights protections. The number of staff in the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice dropped from 365 to less than a quarter of that, and many offices focused on education rights were closed. This resulted in diminished support for victims of discrimination and worsened the government's efforts to monitor discrimination and enforce reforms, especially after the rise in policy attacks related to diversity and equality following George Floyd's death in 2020.
