The Trump administration put a short pause on most federal government websites Friday evening in an effort to eliminate DEI content and any language opposed to President Trump’s agenda, Fox News Digital has learned.
A Trump administration official told Fox News Digital that federal government websites went dark at around 5:00 p.m. Friday evening. The websites are now back up and running.
The purpose was to remove content that is “anti-Trump administration” and against the president’s agenda.
WHITE HOUSE OPM ORDERS ALL DEI OFFICES TO BEGIN CLOSING BY END OF DAY WEDNESDAY
The move comes after the Office of Personnel Management last week ordered that heads and directors of agencies and departments close all DEI offices.
That order came after President Donald Trump signed an executive order last week to eliminate all DEI programs from the federal government.

The president also signed an order making it “the official policy of the U.S. government to only recognize two genders: male and female.”
Trump issued two other executive actions last week targeting DEI — an executive order to end discrimination in the workplace and higher education through race- and sex-based preferences under the guise of DEI, and a memo to eliminate a Biden administration policy that prioritized DEI hiring at the Federal Aviation Administration.
