Since the beginning of the process to implement changes to the U.S. Coast Guard's policy manual, some in its leadership and at the Department of Homeland Security have been evasive, misleading, and elusive. There was absolutely no valid reason to change the longstanding policy that very explicitly banned swastikas and nooses and labeled them as hate symbols. Even then, the original proposed changes would've weakened the Coast Guard's standards and potentially allowed swastikas and nooses to be displayed. I was proud to stand up for the men and women of our Coast Guard and demand that this policy be strengthened and clearly listed.
While I continue to have reservations about the process by which this happened and the confusion created by leadership at the Department of Homeland Security, I am pleased to see that the policy now directly refers to stronger language against swastikas and nooses. For this reason, I will be lifting my hold on Acting Commandant Kevin Lunday. I appreciate his lifetime of service to our country and look forward to working with him to continue to strengthen anti-harassment policy at the Coast Guard. However, because I have worries about the ongoing implementation of this policy, I'll now be placing a hold on Sean Plankey's nomination to lead CISA, given that he currently is overseeing the Coast Guard in his role at the Department of Homeland Security. I will keep that hold in place until we see that this new policy works to protect our men and women in uniform from racist and antisemitic harassment.
