BREAKING SECRET DHS/SERVICE DEI SCOOP – READ FULL 🧵:
Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman sent a depatment-wide email this afternoon at 1:40 p.m. to all agencies that fall under DHS, including the Secret Service, that he is taking steps to end all DEI-related contracts in compliance with Trump's executive orders (email included below).
"These programs divide Americans by race, waste taxpayer dollars and result in shameful discrimination," Huffman wrote.
Huffman also warned that the incoming administration officials are aware of efforts by some to disguise these programs and asked all personnel to report on any efforts they're aware of to obscure these programs and personnel post-Nov. 5. He provided a 10-day deadline and included the email DEIAtruth@opm.gov for reporting purposes.
He noted there would be no adverse consequences for timely reporting of this information, but warned that a failure to do so within 10 days would result in disciplinary actions.
The USSS has been one of multiple federal law enforcement agencies (plus the Pentagon) that leaned into former President Biden's DEI directives.
I'll tell you exactly how in subsequent posts.
But I will first point to former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle's signing of the national 30x30 pledge, which promises to have 30% women agents and Uniformed Division officers working for the agency by 2030. I'm also including the USSS DEI program description and website in this post – and will link to their internal DEI website and personnel in subsequent posts.
