Rights groups have slammed Pete Hegseth for saying that “no quarter” will be shown to Iran.

"No quarter" includes executing people who've surrendered.

Such threats are illegal under the Hague Convention & US domestic laws & military manuals.

Hegseth has publicly claimed he would not abide by “stupid rules of engagement”

And immigrants aren’t just coming from the Middle East; "tremendous numbers of people coming from the Congo.”

"In other words, the only thing that outstrips Trump’s Islamophobia is his horror of Black people."
