CIA is planning to lay off a significant number of intelligence officers working on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) programs. This move marks the agency's largest mass firing in nearly five decades and is seen as a response to an executive order from former President Donald Trump, which aimed to limit diversity initiatives within the federal workforce.
