Trump Keeps Word On Curbing ‘DEI’ As Top Military Official Canned On Day One

Admiral Linda Lee Fagan, the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard, has been relieved of her duties by Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Benjamine Huffman over concerns about leadership failures in several areas. Key issues cited include inadequate border security efforts, struggles with recruitment and retention, mismanagement in asset acquisitions, and an overemphasis on diversity initiatives that allegedly diverted focus from operational priorities.

Fagan was criticized for not effectively deploying Coast Guard resources to address border security, such as combating drug trafficking, and for insufficient coordination with the Department of Homeland Security. Recruitment challenges and delays in acquiring critical assets like icebreakers and helicopters were also flagged as contributing to weakened operational readiness.

Another significant factor in her removal was the mishandling of Operation Fouled Anchor, the Coast Guard’s investigation into sexual assault cases at the Coast Guard Academy. Fagan faced backlash for not addressing the systemic issues revealed by the investigation and for withholding documents requested by Congress, leading to an “erosion of trust” within the Coast Guard.
