Looks like Trump issued an EO that threatens if you don’t. Plus Texas probably has its own restrictions?

The mechanism for punishment is a debarment process (you're no longer allowed to contract with the US) or a withholding of fed grants. The govt couldn't come close to bringing debarment actions (admin regulatory court proceedings) like that against all companies employing DEI or DEI similar programs.
Of course, all this is based on Chevron era powers of regulatory agencies. Idk if that's been altered since Chevron deference was gutted by SCOTUS last year.
