The president's actions to remove protections against surveillance based on sexual orientation and gender identity from the Department of Homeland Security's policies are deeply concerning. This rollback risks enabling discriminatory targeting of LGBTQ+ individuals, violating their fundamental rights and enabling potential civil liberties abuses. We must halt this harmful policy change and reaffirm our nation's commitment to equal protection under the law for all citizens, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. I urge you to take swift legislative action to block this misguided directive and ensure robust safeguards against any form of biased government surveillance or profiling.
