The city of Maryland and three other groups sued U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration on Monday, asking a federal court to halt and declare unconstitutional a pair of executive orders that seek to end diversity programs.

Trump has attempted to remove any US government support for diversity, equity and inclusion practices within the federal government, issuing executive orders on his first two days in office that threaten economic sanctions and dismissals.
