The defense agency makes celebrations on the birthday of Martin Luther King, the women’s history month of women and other breaks

The Pentagon’s intelligence agency has the observations of Pride Month, Black History Month, Martin Luther King’s birthday, Holocaust days of memory, Junetenth and other annual cultural events, as federal authorities to comply with the rejection of diversity programs by President Trump .

The Defense Intelligence Agency published a memo to its workforce on Tuesday with a subject line “Break for special focus and related activities and events”.

“We get questions about the workforce on the way forward,” said the memo. It added that the agency “would pose all activities and events in connection with the agency special programs immediately and until further announcement”.

The agency’s break is “until there is still”, the memo says. It is said that the guideline would not affect compliance with the federal holidays, so that the agency’s employees would probably still dismantle Martin Luther King and Junetenth’s birthday, provided they remain federal public holidays.

The break came when Defense Minister Pete Hegseth announced a new task force for the considerations of diversity in Pentagon advertising campaigns and job orders, the youngest maneuver in the Trump administration of the “Wokess” by the Trump administration.

In a memo to Senior Pentagon Leadership, Mr. Hegseth said that the policy of diversity, justice and inclusion “was not compatible with the values ​​of the Ministry of Defense.

The Task Force must result in a final report by June 1, how diversity programs can get rid of, said Hegseth in the memo.
