WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The National Archives has fired the security supervisor who instructed March for Life participants to cover up or remove their pro-life hats and clothing, The Daily Signal reported Thursday. The news comes after Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Chip Roy, both Texas Republicans, penned a letter last week demanding answers.
On January 20, just after the first March for Life since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a group of pro-lifers entered the National Archives museum where they were instructed by security officers to take off or conceal the pro-life messages on their apparel if they wanted to remain in the museum.
In a letter obtained by The Daily Signal, acting Archivist Debra Steidel Wall affirmed that the incident “was contrary to NARA [National Archives and Records Administration] policy” and said the primary individual involved has been fired.
The letter came in response to a letter led by Sen. Cruz and Rep. Roy and signed by 21 Republican colleagues demanding “answers about allegations that pro-life Americans were harassed and threatened with expulsion from the National Archives Museum.”
