President Donald Trump delivered a decisive blow on Thursday, terminating a Biden-era HUD plan that would have forced Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) mandates on local communities, per a Fox News opinion piece. Launched under Obama and revived by Biden, the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) rule demanded “equity plans” to overhaul zoning, threatening billions in federal grants, per the February 28 report. For conservatives, this is a roaring victory—Trump’s America First agenda just crushed a federal power grab.

HUD Secretary Scott Turner spelled out the rollback, slamming AFFH’s overreach.

“Now, in the name of cutting costly red tape imposed on localities and returning decision-making power to state and local governments,” he said, “HUD has replaced all the complications of the AFFH rule with a simple requirement: a locality’s own certification.”

The AFFH, per Fox, required communities to submit 92-question plans tackling “environmental justice” and “climate resilience,” risking funds if unmet, per HUD’s Biden-era outline. Trump’s axe fell swiftly, stripping it to bare compliance with fair housing laws, per the report.

This move follows Trump’s Thursday border wins, slashing illegal crossings over 90%, per Border Patrol data, and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s Gitmo deportations, per her “Hannity” remarks.

“We have hundreds of thousands of criminals that were let illegally into this country,” Noem said. “That means they have criminal records. They’ve perpetuated crimes in this country.”

Posts on X buzzed—one user wrote, “Trump kills DEI zoning grab—local wins!” Another added, “Biden’s woke HUD flops—America’s back!”

Republicans see this as a lifeline. Biden’s reign let deficits soar past $35 trillion, per Treasury data, while inflation—up 20% since 2021, per BLS—hit families hard, and AFFH bloated local red tape, per Fox. Trump’s January 20 “emergency price relief” memo, DOGE’s $55 billion cuts, and last week’s Epstein file clash, per TheBlaze, signal the fix—cut waste, secure borders, and free communities.

Democrats cried foul, claiming AFFH fought segregation, per a Thursday AP hint, while ignoring its zoning chokehold, per Fox News. Too bad—conservatives see this as Main Street’s emancipation, not a loss. Legal battles loom, with over 70 suits targeting Trump’s moves—like a Thursday block on Education records—but Republicans stand tall. With Congress pushing reconciliation and FBI Director Kash Patel releasing Epstein files, the GOP’s ready to back Trump’s vision, ensuring America’s towns thrive, as voters demanded in 2024.

AFFH’s demise, per Fox, scraps a plan that could’ve dictated local housing under “equity” guises—$4 million in DEI contracts cut, per HUD’s Turner, per the report. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’ February DOGE task force and USDA Secretary Brooke L. Rollins’ SNAP crackdown show state-federal alignment. With DHS troops at the border and Noem’s raids, conservatives rally to defend this rollback, ensuring America’s communities stay free.

This HUD takedown is a mighty win for America, handing power back to locals under Trump’s unshakable leadership.
