Summary
Federal health workers are alarmed after the “DEI Watch List” website published names, photos, and salaries of employees, mainly Black, labeling them “targets” for involvement in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
The conservative American Accountability Foundation runs the site, which has sparked fears of doxxing and intimidation.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) recently issued memos demanding an end to DEI-related work, escalating paranoia. Some staff have been placed on leave.
They “broke a law” by commiting a civil offense like speeding or not renewing your cars registration. Which is usually followed by a fine and an order to get your papers in order.
We typically need those people here illegally because they’re contributing to the economy. Way more often than not they pay taxes, but collect no benefits. So the best path forward is really basically to offer citizenship to anyone who is employed, residing here and has been paying taxes for X period of time.
