Protest against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's Anti-DEI Policies
Military families protested Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's anti-DEI policies at a U.S. military hub in Germany. Hegseth restricted certain books in defense department schools, banned transgender individuals from joining the military, and halted gender transition procedures. Trump administration initiatives also targeted diversity, equity, and inclusion roles. Hegseth faced rare protests during his confirmation hearing due to controversial remarks and allegations.
