Coast Guard Commandant Linda Lee Fagan fired over ‘erosion of trust,’ emphasis on DEI
NY Post ^ | 01/21/2025 | Fox News

The commandant of the US 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 Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Benjamin 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.

$0.01 or 1 minute should be deemed “excessive focus on DEI initiatives.”

every single person promoted under Obama and Biden needs to prove that they are the most qualified for the position and were not in fact promoted because they were a minority, a woman or a mentally ill man who thinks he is a woman or some dike.

Saving people at sea, ship fires, interdicting drugs, all unimportant compared to DEI.
