Federal health workers posted photos of many workers of health institutions on a website called "DEI WATCH List". After their names and public information, they expressed fear and alarm and described it as "target".
It is unclear when the website will list black employees who mainly work in institutions in health and public service departments.
The "crime" listed on the website includes engaging in diversity, fairness and inclusive plan, donating to the Democratic Party, and using pronouns in its BIOS.
A government worker said the website was chatting in multiple private groups through social media links in cross -institutional federal health workers.
The website also contacted Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, and learned this when he learned that federal health workers sent him to him on Tuesday night.
Ben Jiming said: "This is a scary strategy, trying to intimidate those who try to do their own work and admire." "This is an obvious racism."
A government worker said that their names were one of the names on the website on Tuesday afternoon, and a former colleague sent them a link on social media.
"This is disturbing," said those who asked for anonymous because of worrying about security issues. "My name and my photos are there. In 2025, Google is very simple. Find someone's family address and all kinds of things that may make me dangerous."
The person said, "I don't know what the intention of the list is." "This is just a terrible place."
The website lists the salary of workers and the "DEI crime" called, including political donations, screenshots of social media posts, summary of the work on the website, or part of the DEI initiative. scrub.
Benjamin suggested that online harassment is criminal. "Law enforcement agencies should study them."
A person who is not on the list but works on the federal health institution is called "psychological warfare". The person said that the link was distributed in the private group of its federal health workers, which caused some people to "be frightened."
Workers say that this is a reasonable threat, which is difficult to measure. "I know nothing about the organization or their parents' associations. People are just paranoid now."
Note at the bottom of the website said: "A project of the US accountability foundation." The group is a conservative watch dog group.
This is not the first time the group has created the "DEI target" list. The New York Post reported at the time that it dispatched the then National Defense Minister nominee Pete Hegseth. This was the name of people who people thought too much, fair and tolerant people in the army.
Neither U.S. Liability Foundation and HHS responded to the comments request immediately.
The website was two weeks of bruises for public health staff. Employees of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention said they have been "threatened" The memorandum of the Ministry of Health and Public Services instructions instructed them to terminate and study any activities, fairness and tolerance any activities, work and research-work and research-and hand over to colleagues who do not follow orders. HHS monitor the federal health institution, including the Center for Disease Control and Control and the National Institute of Health.
"Tone is aggressive. If we are not obedient, this will be a threatening consequence. It requires us to report colleagues who do not follow." There are many fear and panic. "
The NBC News reviews one of the memorandums, which instructed the "Examine all agency's position description and describes all positions to send notifications involving employees involved in the institution of gender ideology, that is, they will immediately place paid administrative holidays."
The staff said that the result was paranoid.
"I know those who were sent to administrative leave due to illegal acts related to these ambiguous memorandums. People are thinking that if I am wrong, I will be fired." Another doctor of the Center for Disease Prevention and Control.
In a case, one of the meals of a colleague will be canceled in a hurry because it is worried that this will be regarded as a way to promote cultural diversity.
Despite harassment, public health employees said they are still committed to work.
"If I leave, who will replace me?" Said the doctor at the Center for Disease Prevention and Control. "If no one replaces me and we are enough to leave, who will do public health work?"
