Federal Facilities Adopt One-Flag Policy: Only US Flag Allowed
The State Department, under Secretary Marco Rubio, implemented a “One Flag Policy,” mandating only the American flag be displayed on U.S. facilities domestically and internationally. This policy, effective immediately, bans Pride and BLM flags, sparking online backlash. Exceptions are made for POW/MIA and Wrongful Detainees flags. The policy’s justification cites the American flag’s representation of universal principles shared by all citizens.
