President Donald Trump has fired the female leader of the US Coast Guard over concerns about the border and her obsession with DEI policies.
Adm. Linda Fagan, commandant of the Coast Guard, was relieved of her duties by Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Benjamine Huffman, Fox News reported.
The 61-year was terminated from her post after officials in the new administration raised concerns over the border and her recruitment, a source told the outlet.
The source said these concerns also included a failure to address key threats, and an excessive focus on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.
Fagan's diversity, equity and inclusion recruitment had worsened issues relating to operational readiness, according to the source.
They said that due to her making DEI policies a priority, which included at the Coast Guard Academy, focus was diverted away from resources and operational essentials.
Fagan was also relieved over the mishandling of Operation Fouled Anchor, an investigation into the Coast Guard's review of sexual assault cases at their academy.
The report uncovered years of sexual assaults and misconduct at the academy from the late 1980s through until 2006.

Would it be to much to ask to see them forced marched through the streets for public humiliation?
Not in my opinion.
20. I also recommend consideration of this memorandum and reference (c) when evaluating
whether to invite or retain any former member of Academy leadership from the Fouled Anchor
period to participate in leadership, advisory, governance or oversight roles at the Academy or in
the Service generall
I was hoping for a keel hauling, given this is the coast guard
.
This sort of reminds me of when Silicon Valley Bank collapsed.
Many people claimed it was DEI, citing some pro-DEI low-ranking European risk manager as the cause of the collapse.
In reality, SVB failed because its business and deposits were hyper-concentrated and they failed to execute prudent asset-liability management in parking liquidity in high-convexity long-term securities.
My guess is the DEI nonsense pales in comparison to the Operation Fouled Anchor affair.
But, hey… the DEI thing will get clicks.
Great start, Mr. President!
Good! And on another note, proofreading/editing is a lost art. The caption to one of the photos refers to her as “commandment” not “commandant”! SMH.
Sebastian Bach hasn’t aged well.
I never like the ‘cut of her jib’
Sorta looks like Lionel Barrymore
I think he’s going to fire some generals and admirals, too.
Ha! No, I know her. She graduated in the class of 83 I think. She was in my company. Nice lady, but completely overmatched by the job. She also tried to cover up for the incompetence of the last four prior CMDTs, all of whom were male and cultural marxists.
Does she like girls?
Sorta looks like Lionel Barrymore
><
Yes, she does. Lionel Barrymore was a conservative.
That Old Puddle Pirate has a whole lot of colorful “fruit salad” on that uniform.
I wonder how many of those ribbons are DEI - Didn’t Earn It????
Ever see the show 'Branded' with Chuck Conners (The Rifleman)? That should apply to all of these military types that get the axe.
This morning my CG son texted me that clip of Snoopy doing a happy dance ...
She was not well-liked to put it mildly.
I hope the CG is placed back with the Navy when DHS is dis-banded.
