Recent investigations reveal that some federal workers are actively resisting President Donald Trump's policies. Evidence from a new survey and videos shows their defiance regarding issues such as illegal immigration and education reform.
1. Resistance Within Federal Workforce: A recent report indicates that a segment of the federal workforce, funded by tax dollars, is opposing Trump's agenda. This includes efforts related to illegal immigration and education reform.
2. Survey Findings: According to the Napolitan Institute survey, only 16% of federal managers who supported Kamala Harris in the last election would comply with Trump's legal orders if they disagreed. Around 76% stated they would actively resist Trump’s administration, highlighting a significant partisan divide.
3. Project Veritas Investigations: Undercover videos released by Project Veritas show federal employees from agencies like NASA and the State Department admitting to bypassing Trump’s orders on diversity and inclusion initiatives. Employees indicated they would rephrase terms to avoid conflict with the administration.
4. Concerns About DEI Programs: Trump has criticized diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, suggesting they compromise the quality of staff. Federal workers, however, revealed they continue to use these programs under different names despite the administration’s stance.
5. Federal Education Practices: In another undercover investigation, a Department of Education official admitted that their division does not inquire about students' citizenship status, indicating potential compliance issues that could arise if Congress realizes this practice.
6. Defiance Against Trump: Employees at the Department of Defense have also expressed their opposition to Trump, with comments framing him as immoral and illegitimate. The sentiment of resistance has been echoed across multiple branches of the federal government.
7. Staffing Challenges for Trump: Trump's administration has faced ongoing difficulties with both appointed and career officials opposing its policies. His focus remains on appointing individuals who support his agenda as he prepares for a potential second term.
The findings from surveys and undercover reports illustrate a clear resistance among some federal workers against Trump’s policies. This resistance poses challenges for the administration as it seeks to implement its agenda, amidst a backdrop of significant ideological divides within the federal bureaucracy.
