T-Mobile agreed to kill off its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policies, joining Verizon in compliance with the Trump administration.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr publicized a letter sent to the FCC on Wednesday. The filing announces that ‘T-Mobile will no longer have any individual roles or teams focused on DEI.”
The letter, signed by Mark Nelson, T-Mobile’s executive vice president and general counsel, also claims that the company “has removed references to DEI or ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ from its employee training materials and will ensure that all future training materials are focused on achieving the company’s core business objectives and anti-discrimination instruction, without reference to separate DEI objectives.”
T-Mobile did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
Carr called T-Mobile’s decision to ditch DEI “another good step forward for equal opportunity, nondiscrimination, and the public interest.”
“A big victory for @BrendanCarrFCC — @TMobile is a German company, pushing far-left EU politics in America,” Consumers Research Executive Director, Will Hild said on X. “This should *never* be tolerated and I’m glad Chairman Carr is ensuring they’re ditching their woke European ways in America.”
T-Mobile’s letter follows Verizon’s May announcement of an end to its corporate DEI, “effective immediately.” The company erased DEI “not just in name or in the way [it is] described, but in substance,” following a February letter from Carr, questioning Verizon’s continued promotion of DEI.
Verizon’s chief legal officer, Vendana Venkatesh, claimed in the May letter to Carr that “Verizon is making these changes to its practices not just in name or in the way they are described, but in substance.”
FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez, however, calls this move by T-Mobile a “cynical bid to win FCC regulatory approval,” where the company makes “a mockery of its professed commitment to eliminating discrimination, promoting fairness, and amplifying underrepresented voices.”
In yet another cynical bid to win FCC regulatory approval, T-Mobile is making a mockery of its professed commitment to eliminating discrimination, promoting fairness, and amplifying underrepresented voices.
History will not be kind to this cowardly corporate capitulation.

President Donald Trump has made efforts since he entered office to cut DEI out of the workforce and out of schools via 2025 executive orders, including an order directing the Labor Department to remove affirmative action terms from federal contracts with an April 20 deadline.
