U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi will not waste taxpayer money on those numerous "diversity, equity, inclusion" projects launched under the Joe Biden administration, according to a new report.
A Justice Department official has told Fox News those funds are now in the process of being moved to budget categories that target criminals.
"The Department of Justice under Pam Bondi will not waste discretionary funds on DEI passion projects that do not make Americans safer," the spokesman told the network.
"We will use our money to get criminals off the streets, seize drugs, and in some cases, fund programs that deliver a tangible impact for victims of crime."
Bondi's work on her first day at the DOJ included ordering officials to make certain that all DEI programs at the department were terminated.
She also ordered the elimination of DEI from the DOJ's training procedures, the report said.
Ordered removed were the programs' endless insistence on making decisions, such as hiring employees, based on race or sex factors.
Now the hiring is "solely on merit," the report said.
Bondi's own words explain what the department now is doing.
"Arresting violent terrorists, dismantling cartel networks, and rooting DEI out of American institution."
She told Fox, "We will continue working day in and day out to deliver on President Trump's Make America Safe Agenda."
