Federal health workers terrorize after the website ‘Dei’ publishes the list of ‘goals’

Federal health workers express fear and alarm after a website called “Dei Surveillance List” published the photos, names and public information of several workers in all health agencies, describing them at a time as ” goals”.

It is not clear when the website appeared, which lists mainly black employees working in agencies mainly within the Department of Health and Human Services.

The “crimes” for workers listed on the website include working in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiativesdonating democrats and Using pronouns In his biography.

The website, said a government worker, is being distributed among multiple private group chats of federal health workers in all agencies, as well as through social networks links.

The site also reached Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, who learned from Tuesday night when a federal health worker sent it to him.

“This is a fear tactic to try to intimidate people who try to do their job and do it admirably,” said Benjamin. “It is clear racism.”

A government worker said they discovered that theirs were among the names on the website on Tuesday afternoon after a former co -worker sent them the link on social networks.

“It’s disconcerting,” said the person who requested anonymity due to security concerns. “My name and my photo are there, and in 2025, it is very simple to search Google and look for someone’s house address and all kinds of things that potentially put me at risk.”

“I don’t know what the intention of the list is for,” said the person. “It’s just a scary place to be.”

On Tuesday night, the site listed photos of employees and was linked to more information about them under the title “Objectives.” Later on Tuesday night, the headline on each page had changed to “files.”

The site lists workers’ salar Initiative ofi That has been scrubbing a federal website.

Benjamin suggested that acts of online harassment are criminals. “The police must examine them.”

A person who is not on the list but works at a federal health agency called the “Psychological War” website. The link, said this person, is being distributed in his private group chat of federal health workers, which makes some “scare”.

It is difficult to measure, said the worker, be it a legitimate threat. “I don’t know anything about the organization that does this or its parents association. People are paranoid at this time. “

A note at the bottom of the website says: “A project of the American responsible Foundation”. That group is a conservative surveillance group.

It is not the first time that the group has created this list. In December, he sent Pete Heghseth, then the nominated for the Secretary of Defense, a list of names of people in the army whom he considered too focused on diversity, equity and inclusion, The New York Post reported At the moment.

Neither the American Responsibility Foundation nor the HHS immediately responded to the requests for comments.

The website occurs after a two -week bruise for public health workers. Employees of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say they have received “threatening” Notes from the Department of Health and Human Services Tell them to terminate any activity, employment and research with any connection with Diversity, equity and inclusion -And deliver to co -workers who do not adhere to orders. The HHS supervises federal health agencies, including CDCs and national health institutes.

“The tone is aggressive. It is threatening consequences if we are not obedient. He asks us to inform the co -workers who do not meet, ”said a CDC doctor who was not authorized to talk to journalists. “There is a lot of fear and panic.”

NBC News reviewed one of the memoranda, which ordered employees to “review all the agency’s position descriptions and send a notification to all employees whose description of the position implies instilling or promoting gender ideology that is being placed on administrative license paid immediately immediately. “

The result, said the staff, is the paranoia.

“I know the people who have received administrative license for perceived infractions related to these ambiguous memoranda. People think that if I put a bad foot, they will only fire me, ”said another CDC doctor.

In one case, a power lunch among coworkers was hurriedly canceled for fear that it would be seen as a way of promoting cultural diversity.

Despite harassment, public health employees said they are still committed to their work.

“If I leave, who will replace me?” A CDC doctor said. “If nobody replaces me and enough of us, then who is going to do public health work?”
