The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has revised its policy manual to eliminate protections preventing the gathering of intelligence on individuals based solely on their LGBTQ+ status. This shift, as reported by Bloomberg, aligns with an executive order from President Trump aimed at dismantling diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies across federal agencies. This update marks a significant change from previous guidelines that explicitly prohibited intelligence activities based on sexual orientation and gender identity, raising concerns among critics about the implications for LGBTQ+ individuals.
The DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis has updated its policy manual, removing protections for LGBTQ+ identities in intelligence gathering based solely on these identities.
The policy changes correspond with a broader directive under President Trump's executive order aimed at eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion protections within federal agencies.
