US President Donald Trump stepped up a crackdown on diversity programs and immigration Wednesday, with the Republican preparing to lay out more of his hardline agenda in an Oval Office interview.
The White House ordered that all federal employees in programs intended to bolster minority groups should be put on paid leave from Wednesday, Trump's second full day back in power.
"President Trump campaigned on ending the scourge of DEI from our federal government," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement published by NBC News. US government workers in diversity offices must be put on paid leave by 5:00 pm Wednesday, Leavitt confirmed.Trump also issued an executive order late Tuesday ending"radical" affirmative action in awarding federal contracts, revoking an order dating back to Democratic President Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s.
Trump declared a national emergency on the Mexican border in one of his first moves on Monday, and has promised raids and the deportation of"millions" of migrants in the country illegally. But there was a rare instance of a split with one key supporter -- the world's richest person Elon Musk, who is set to lead a cost-cutting agency in Trump's administration.
"I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now," Budde said to Trump, who was seated in the church's front pew.
