Just before 9 a.m. on Christmas Day, for example, Harmeet K. Dhillon, head of the Justice Department's civil rights division, posted a message on X wishing "Christians nationwide" a happy holiday "celebrating the birth of Jesus!"
In the post was a video more than a minute long in which Dhillon said the department uses the principle of "religious liberty" and the First Amendment on "a daily basis to protect Christians." She did not mention protecting other religions.
About two hours later, DHS's official account posted on X that "we are blessed to share a nation and a Savior." A video in the post began with text that said, "Remember the miracle of Christ's birth," followed by 90 seconds of religious images, including Jesus, Mary and a manger, as well as several of Trump.
