Trump's 'One Flag Policy' Bans BLM and LGBTQ Flags at U.S. Facilities, Enforced by Secretary Rubio
Jan 22, 2025, 02:30 AM
The Trump administration has implemented a new 'One Flag Policy' through the State Department, mandating that only the American flag be flown at U.S. government facilities both domestically and abroad. This policy, effective immediately, prohibits the display of any other flags, including those associated with movements like Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ community, which were previously flown under the Biden administration. The policy was announced shortly after the confirmation of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who issued the order as part of a broader initiative to reshape the diplomatic mission of the State Department. Violation of this policy by State Department employees could result in disciplinary actions, including termination or reassignment. The only exceptions to this rule are the POW/MIA emblem and the Wrongful Detainees Flag.
