The Department of Homeland Security has asserted there &#8220;was never a &#8216;downgrade'&#8221; in policy language. <\/p>\n<p>Rosen had said she was holding up Lunday&#8217;s nomination because leadership appeared to have &#8220;backtracked&#8221; on a commitment that swastikas and nooses are considered hate symbols and prohibited from display. <\/p>\n<p>Rosen said Thursday on social media that she was lifting the hold and looked forward to working with Lunday to continue strengthening anti-harassment policies at the Coast Guard.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While I continue to have reservations about the process by which this happened and the confusion created by leadership at the Department of Homeland Security, I am pleased to see that the policy now directly refers to stronger language against swastikas and nooses,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>Noem called the delay of Lunday&#8217;s nomination a &#8220;politicized holdup,&#8221; saying it had gone on long enough and he should be confirmed without delay.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He has given nearly 39 years of distinguished service to the Coast Guard, this country, and the American people,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>The Coast Guard&#8217;s planned policy change calling hate symbols &#8220;potentially divisive&#8221; emerged publicly last month. It stopped short of banning them, instead saying that commanders could take steps to remove them from public view and that the rule did not apply to private spaces, such as family housing. <\/p>\n<p>DHS has said the change &#8220;strengthens our ability to report, investigate, and prosecute those who violate longstanding policy.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The Coast Guard said on social media that it &#8220;maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward hate symbols, extremist ideology, and any conduct that undermines our core values. We prohibit the display or promotion of hate symbols in any form. Any suggestion otherwise is false.&#8221;<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
