The ACLU doesn't endorse candidates or political appointees, but we assess their impact on our civil rights and civil liberties. Here’s our analysis of Pete Hegseth's record. Hegseth has a long record of extremely concerning views on a variety of civil liberties issues related to the military and U.S. national security policy, including support for using the military to suppress protests on U.S. soil. Deployment of troops to help conduct mass deportations or to suppress protest would be an abuse of power. As our nation’s largest employer, the DOD has a responsibility to protect the civil rights and liberties of its employees. https://lnkd.in/e7yAN-gQ
