My interpretation above may sound exaggerated, but what you can see happening in practice when anti-DEI comes into force is first of all that equity work stops.
Best case, departments are renamed and told to reign it in a bit. But when people don't do their best at reducing the harm, but instead step up to satisfy the ideology behind the order, we see the U.S. Air Force taking down information and videos about Black and female pilots, and banning the use of that material in their training. We see government agencies taking down information that happens to mention certain words, firing entire teams whose jobs it was to reduce discrimination, etc.
