Trump DOJ moves funds used for transgender projects, DEI to support law enforcement

  • The Trump Department of Justice redirected $811 million in grants on March 14, 2025, in Washington, DC, from transgender and DEI projects to law enforcement efforts.
  • This reallocation followed Senate Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley's request for clarification on funds previously awarded mainly to non-governmental groups misaligned with current priorities.
  • Among affected organizations, San Diego's Innocence Center lost a $600,000 grant in April, which represented up to 30% of its budget and supports wrongful conviction work.
  • Michael Semanchik, the Innocence Center’s executive director, said the funding halt is significant and announced they will file an appeal to restore it.
  • The cuts reflect the administration’s broader effort to end DEI programs, impacting hundreds of agencies and raising concerns about support for marginalized communities.
