Justice Department enforces colorblind equality

The Trump administration is using the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division to pivot federal civil‑rights enforcement away from equity‑focused DEI frameworks toward a principle of formal, colorblind equality. That shift includes litigation strategy, guidance for agencies and universities, and a stance toward so‑called 'captured' left‑wing institutions that the DOJ now treats as politicized actors rather than neutral public servants. — If the federal government redefines civil‑rights enforcement away from equity measures, that will change litigation, university policy, contracting rules, and how Americans understand what equality means under the law.
