Summary

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was booed and heckled by military families during a visit to a U.S. European Command headquarters in Germany for rolling back DEI policies.

Demonstrators chanted “DEI,” referencing Hegseth’s ban on certain books in Defense Department schools and his recent policies restricting transgender service members.

The protests come amid Trump’s broader effort to eliminate DEI roles in the military.

Hegseth, a controversial nominee, was confirmed by the Senate with Vice President JD Vance breaking a tie.

His past remarks on women in combat and allegations of misconduct have drawn further criticism.
