马萨诸塞州议员正推进一项永久性的所谓“穆斯林委员会”计划，优先为州政府岗位聘用美国穆斯林。
该团体将协助推荐该新英格兰州的伊斯兰教徒担任政府任命职位，而与此同时特朗普政府正推动在全国范围内废除此类多元化、公平性与包容性（DEI）项目——这将引发当地官员与总统之间的对峙。
一项拟议法案将设立一个由11名穆斯林组成的委员会，由民主党州长莫拉·希利和其他州官员任命，以在商业、经济、医疗保健及其他议题上代表伊斯兰信仰群体。

根据法案措辞，该穆斯林委员会将影响政府招聘工作，并“识别并推荐合格的美国穆斯林担任各级政府的任命职位，包括各委员会与董事会，只要委员会认为有必要且合适”。
该法案主要发起人、民主党州参议员杰米·埃尔德里奇表示：“马萨诸塞州一直以在平等和民权领域的领导者身份为荣，这项法案正是这一传统的延续。”
埃尔德里奇在该提案的新闻稿中补充道：“我选区乃至整个联邦的美国穆斯林作为学生、医疗工作者、教育工作者、小企业主和 civic 领袖，丰富了我们的社区。该委员会将帮助州政府更好地理解和应对他们面临的挑战，同时加强包容性与公民参与。”
参议院法案S.2134在通过委员会初步审议和投票后，目前已提交至州参议院预算委员会。
根据皮尤研究中心和美国人口普查局的估算数据，穆斯林约占马萨诸塞州人口的2%至3%。

马萨诸塞州的这项推进举措正值唐纳德·特朗普总统将削减私营部门和联邦政府的DEI项目作为政府任务之际。
白宫发言人艾莉森·舒斯特告诉福克斯新闻数字频道：“特朗普总统当选时获得的明确授权是结束分裂性、种族主义政策，恢复择优录取和效率。”
舒斯特补充道：“拜登政府期间DEI泛滥成灾，美国人最终为这些破坏性政策付出了代价：劳动力池受限、运营成本上升、劳动力效率低下。特朗普政府将始终倡导在法律面前人人平等，无论种族或族裔。”
总统团队已终止联邦政府与DEI相关的合同，并取消了联邦政府的DEI项目。

特朗普在其首个百日任期内，由埃隆·马斯克领导的政府效率部（DOGE）推出的举措之一，就是终止那些根据求职者受保护群体身份优先聘用和分配职位的项目。
包括总统和马斯克在内的许多共和党人声称，DEI是“反向歧视”，为美国多数群体带来了不公平的歧视。
希利州长的办公室未回应福克斯新闻数字频道就该立法置评的请求。

Massachusetts lawmakers are taking steps toward prioritizing the hiring of American Muslims for state government positions under a permanent so-called Muslim commission.
The group would help recommend Americans who practice Islam to appointed government positions in the New England state at the same time the Trump administration is moving to dismantle such diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs nationwide — teeing-up a standoff between local leaders and the president.
A proposed bill would create a panel of 11 Muslims appointed by Democratic Gov. Maura Healey and other state officials to represent the Islamic faith on issues such as business, economy, healthcare and other concerns.

The Muslim commission would influence government recruiting and, “Identify and recommend qualified American Muslims for appointive positions at all levels of government, including boards and commissions, as the commission considers necessary and appropriate,” according to language in the bill.
“Massachusetts has always prided itself on being a leader in equality and civil rights, a legacy this bill builds upon,” said Democratic state Sen. Jamie Eldridge, the bill’s primary sponsor.
“American Muslims in my district and across the Commonwealth enrich our communities as students, healthcare workers, educators, small business owners, and civic leaders,” Eldridge added in the press release on the proposal. “This commission will help the state better understand and address the challenges they face, while strengthening inclusion and civic participation. “
Senate Bill S.2134 currently sits in the state’s Senate Ways and Means Committee after clearing initial committee markups and votes.
Muslims account for an estimated 2% to 3% of Massachusetts’ population, according to approximate figures from Pew Research Center and the U.S. Census.

Massachusetts’ push comes as President Donald Trump has made it a mission of his administration to cut back on DEI programs in the private sector, as well as in the federal government.
“President Trump was resoundingly elected with a mandate to end divisive, racist policies and restore merit and efficiency,” White House spokesperson Allison Shuster told Fox News Digital.
“DEI ran rampant during the Biden Administration, and Americans ultimately paid the price for these destructive policies with a restricted labor pool, higher operational costs, and workforce inefficiencies,” Shuster added. “The Trump Administration will always promote equal treatment under the law for every American, regardless of race or ethnicity.”
The president’s team has terminated federal DEI-related contracts and eliminated DEI federal government programs.

Part of Trump’s initiative during his first 100 days with the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was to put an end to programs that prioritized hiring and representation in the workplace based on applicants’ protected classes.
Many Republicans, including the president and Musk, claimed that DEI was “reverse discrimination” that provided unfair preferences against majority groups in the U.S.
Gov. Healey’s office did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment on the legislation.
