Customs and Border Protection (CBP) documents reveal that Chief Alejandro Mayorkas has issued instructions to agents, urging them to employ “woke language” and avoid using “incorrect pronouns” when encountering individuals entering the United States illegally.
The move, highlighted by a tweet from the Oversight Project at the Heritage Foundation, reflects an emphasis on inclusive and respectful communication practices within the CBP, aiming to prevent misgendering during border encounters.
The directive is part of ongoing efforts to promote sensitivity and awareness in language usage within the agency.
