On Monday, the EEOC issued a press release (full text) titled EEOC Delivers on Administration Priorities and President Trump’s Executive Orders. A significant portion of the release is devoted to the EEOC’s protection of religious freedom since the beginning of the Trump Administration. The press release says in part:

Since January 2025, the EEOC has filed 16 religious discrimination lawsuits and recovered over $63 million on behalf of religious workers via public and private pre-litigation voluntary resolutions, as well as litigation settlements.

It goes on to detail over 30 cases involving anti-Christian bias or antisemitism in which the EEOC since January 2025 has filed suit or in which it has obtained a significant settlement in conciliation proceedings or after filing suit or in which it has obtained a favorable court judgment.

Other portions of the press release deal with the EEOC’s attacks on DEI-related race and sex discrimination; its protection of American workers from preferences for foreign workers; protection of women’s sex-based rights at work; and reform of the complaint process for federal workers.
