Pretty close to the deadline for trannys to leave or get kicked out. I'm guessing that could be related.

"Active-duty transgender troops have until June 6 to begin the process of separating from the armed forces or risk being booted out, according to a memo signed Thursday by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Reserve troops have until July 7. After those dates, the services will begin involuntarily booting out transgender troops."

Remember the rule. The longer the ID remains unknown, the more likely it is the perp is not white.
