The Coast Guard replaced outdated language on hate symbols with a zero-tolerance policy, leading to confirmation of Adm. Kevin Lunday.
The U.S. Coast Guard has removed language describing swastikas and nooses as "potentially divisive" from its policy, replacing it with a clear zero-tolerance stance against such symbols, following political scrutiny and a hold on Adm. Kevin Lunday’s nomination.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the change corrected outdated language and prevented misrepresentation, while reaffirming the service’s strict prohibition on hate symbols and extremist conduct.
Lunday was confirmed by the Senate after the policy update, with Sen. Jacky Rosen lifting her hold, though she expressed concerns over the process.
The Coast Guard emphasized that its standards remain firm and that any suggestion of weakened enforcement is false.
