A rightwing group that has created a series of blacklists to target federal workers it believes the Trump administration should fire has received funding for the project by the thinktank behind Project 2025.

A recent list created by the American Accountability Foundation called the DEI Watch List" includes mostly people of color with roles in government health roles alleged to have some tie to diversity initiatives. Another targets education department employees in career roles who cannot be trusted to faithfully execute the agenda of the elected President of the United States". One calls out the most subversive immigration bureaucrats".
