Hegseth Links D-Day to Migration

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth caused controversy at D-Day commemorations in Normandy by linking immigration to an 'invasion' of dangerous ideologies.

His remarks, made during a reflective ceremony, drew widespread criticism for their timing and content.

Republican Rep. Michael McCaul deemed Hegseth's D-Day remarks “inappropriate,” adding to a chorus of criticism from within his own party.

Hegseth's comments continue a trend of Trump administration officials publicly criticizing Europe over migration levels.
