From Fox News: The Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard has been terminated over concerns about the border, recruitment and an “erosion of trust,” a senior DHS official confirmed to Fox News.
Adm. Linda Lee Fagan, 61, has been terminated by the Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Benjamine Huffman, the official said.
Fagan has demonstrated leadership deficiencies, operational failures and an inability to advance the strategic objectives of the Coast Guard.
These include the failure to address border security threats, insufficient leadership in recruitment and retention, mismanagement in acquiring key acquisitions such as icebreakers and helicopters, excessive focus on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and an “erosion of trust” over the mishandling and cover-up of Operation Fouled Anchor, which was the Coast Guard’s internal investigation into sexual assault cases at the Coast Guard Academy.
The report states that “Fagan is accused of ineffective deployment of Coast Guard assets to support national border security, including in intercepting fentanyl and other illicit substances.” In simple terms, Fagan is accused of allowing illegal aliens and drugs to flow throw into the U.S.
Fagan also had “significant failures in recruiting personnel” and lacked “strategies to address retention struggles.”
However, she had “made DEI policies a priority.”
Below is a “flashback” video as Fagan bragged in an MSNBC appearance about her efforts for “diversity” at the U.S. Coast Guard.

It’s now confirmed what we all suspected: the Coast Guard was told to stand down and not protect our shores from illegal boats carrying illegal aliens. The Commandant of the Coast Guard has been FIRED by Trump. https://t.co/FVP09A8wSg

Undermining the US military and border security to spend money on racist/sexist DEI nonsense is no longer acceptable https://t.co/IPoDv5odP8
