Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin criticized President Trump’s executive orders targeting federal Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs, calling it the “Alabama-fication” of the U.S. government. Woodfin expressed concern that these bans disproportionately affect white women and veterans, not just racial minorities. He also dodged questions about Birmingham’s compliance with federal immigration officials and the city’s sanctuary city status. Woodfin emphasized the city’s focus on public safety, hiring more officers, and tackling gun violence instead. Woodfin’s comments came during an appearance on CNN This Morning with Kasie Hunt. The mayor’s remarks reflect ongoing tensions between local and federal government policies on diversity, inclusion, and public safety.
