President Donald Trump dismissed at least 17 agency inspectors general, watchdogs responsible for rooting out waste, fraud and abuse within federal agencies, sparking controversy and criticism from Democrats and some Republicans. The Trump administration ordered federal agencies to terminate diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) programs and positions within 60 days, a move seen as a return to merit-based policies by conservatives and as an attack on inclusivity by critics. Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered a pause on new obligations of funding for foreign assistance programs, pending a review to ensure the aid is effective and consistent with Trump's foreign policy. Trump's actions are part of a broader strategy to fulfill his campaign promise of draining the swamp, reflecting the conservative movement's long-standing criticism of the federal bureaucracy.
