Chicago nonprofit sues Trump over executive orders targeting DEI

Chicago Women in Trades has sued the Trump administration, arguing that executive orders restricting diversity, equity, and inclusion programs violate the Constitution. The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Illinois federal court, claims the orders are vague, unlawfully limit free speech, and improperly withhold congressionally approved funding. The nonprofit, which supports women in skilled trades, says the orders could force it to abandon its mission. The administration has not yet responded to the lawsuit.
