Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth faced an unexpected reception during his visit to the United States European Command headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany, Tuesday. As he arrived at the base, a group of military families gathered, repeatedly chanting "DEI" in protest of recent Trump administration policy overhauls.
The demonstration, which lasted only a few minutes, was in response to Hegseth's recent moves, including restricting books covering psychology and immigration in Department of Defense (DOD) schools. Last week, Hegseth issued a military-wide ban on transgender enlistments and prohibited gender-affirming medical care for service members.
