Proskauer – A complaint has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, contending that President Trump’s recent Executive Order barring contractors from engaging in “racially discriminatory DEI activities” violates First Amendment free speech and freedom of association rights of federal contractors, and exceeds the President’s authority under the Procurement Act.
