Early actions taken by President Donald Trump against policies based on progressive "diversity, equity, and inclusion" and radical gender ideologies were, rather predictably, attacked by lawsuits from furious leftist advocacy groups and blocked by cowed federal judges.

Now, thanks to one such lawsuit that compelled a settlement, the Trump administration has been forced to restore on government websites dozens of deleted webpages and datasets on those and other topics not aligned with Trump's policy agenda, according to Fox News.

The settlement ends a lawsuit that had been stalled for months after an initial temporary restraining order was obtained in February that stopped the administration from taking down certain webpages and datasets that are ostensibly relied upon by medical professionals.

Trump's orders challenged by lawsuits

On President Trump's first day in office, he signed a pair of executive orders aimed at ending Biden-era DEI programs and "gender ideology extremism" in the federal government.

In accordance with those orders, various departments and agencies like Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Administration, Health Resources and Services Administration, Justice, and Veterans Affairs, among others, soon began to take down certain pages and datasets from their respective federal websites.

Those pages and datasets contained information related to abortion services, DEI programs, gender identity, LGBTQ+ health issues, racism, and vaccines, among other things.

A coalition of left-leaning plaintiff organizations, led by the Washington State Medical Association, sued HHS and other agencies after a separate legal challenge resulted in a temporary restraining order in February that paused any further action while the case proceeded.

Amid that pause, negotiations on a settlement were conducted between the parties, and an "in principle" agreement was reached last month that earned the approval of a federal judge.

Settlement celebrated

In a Tuesday press release, the WSMA announced that the various defendant agencies within the Trump administration had "agreed to restore webpages and data that were wrongfully deleted, ensuring that these critical resources are once again available to physicians, scientists, medical professionals, and the American public."

"I am extremely proud of the health care community in Washington state and our partners in this case for pushing back on this egregious example of government overreach," Dr. John Bramhall, president of the WSMA, said in a statement. "This was not a partisan issue -- open data benefits everyone and ensuring its availability should be a bipartisan priority."

"This was trusted health information that vanished in a blink of an eye -- resources that, among other things, physicians rely on to manage patients' health conditions and overall care," he added. "Not only was our ability to provide care to our patients compromised, but our trust in our federal health institutions has also been badly shaken."

Administration still committed to ending DEI and gender extremism ideologies

Fox News reported that HHS, the lead defendant in the case, did not comment directly on the settlement, but did insist that it remained "committed to its mission of removing radical gender and DEI ideology from federal programs, subject to applicable law, to ensure taxpayer dollars deliver meaningful results for the American people."

It is not clear when all of the previously deleted webpages and datasets will be restored and back online, as no timeline for the implementation of the settlement has been divulged.

Nor does it appear that the forced reposting of the deleted information will be guaranteed as permanent, as President Trump will continue his efforts, within the law, to fully end and extricate the radical DEI and gender extremism ideologies from the federal government.
