President Donald Trump’s executive order designating English as the official language of the United States did not mandate government agencies stop offering services or materials in other languages. But across the federal government, those resources have been disappearing.
The Department of Justice earlier this month suspended its website offering resources for non-English speakers navigating the federal government, and there’s no guidance as to whether those resources are coming back.
The DOJ took down the site for limited English proficiency, LEP.gov, earlier this month after a memo from Attorney General Pam Bondi directed the agency to temporarily suspend all public-facing materials on language guidance.
