United States: The False Claims Act and DEI,

Global Compliance News, Baker McKenzie

February 2025

President Trump’s Executive Order 14173 calls for the elimination of what it characterizes as “illegal” DEI programs in the federal government. In addition, by making express references to the False Claims Act, the order provides another avenue for qui tam relators to bring FCA lawsuits and potentially signals increased FCA enforcement for government contractors with DEI programs. This alert provides essential insights and recommendations to help government contractors mitigate these risks and navigate the evolving legal landscape following President Trump’s orders.
