President Donald Trump removed Admiral Linda Fagan, the first woman to lead the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), and gave her only three hours to vacate her official residence, according to sources.

Abrupt Dismissal and Eviction

A day after Trump’s inauguration on January 20, Acting Homeland Security Secretary Benjamin Huffman informed Admiral Linda Fagan of her immediate dismissal.

• Fagan, who was appointed in 2022 for a four-year term, was told she had 60 days to secure new housing.
• However, on February 4, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ordered her to vacate her residence at the Anacostia-Bolling Joint Base in Washington by 2:00 PM.
• She was given only three hours to gather her belongings, two sources told NBC.

"This was a personal vendetta," said an ally of Fagan.

Sources say acting Coast Guard chief Kevin Lunday told staff that "the president wants her out of the house immediately."

Unusual Treatment of a Senior Military Leader

DHS aides reportedly instructed Fagan not to lock the doors so they could take photos inside, but she refused.

• Coast Guard officials warned that anyone attempting to enter without her permission would be considered trespassing.
• Due to the short notice, Fagan left behind most of her personal belongings and had to sleep at a friend’s house, according to a former U.S. military official.

"She was fired for cause two weeks ago but remained in official housing," a DHS official told NBC, arguing that the eviction was justified.

However, Fagan’s allies dispute this, saying she was not offered any alternative housing or relocation assistance despite government claims.

Fallout and Allegations Against Fagan

The decision to remove Fagan from her residence came two weeks after she was fired via an all-staff email.

• Reports suggest she learned of her dismissal while waiting in line for a photo with Trump at his inaugural party on January 20.
• In her termination letter, the Trump administration accused Fagan of:
  • "Eroding confidence" in leadership.
  • Failing to secure the U.S. coastline from illegal immigration and drug smuggling.
  • Pushing diversity and inclusion (DEI) policies that the administration opposed.
  • Mismanaging investigations into sexual misconduct within the Coast Guard.

Who is Admiral Linda Fagan?

• Appointed USCG commander on June 1, 2022.
• Oversaw 42,000 active-duty personnel, 7,000 reservists, 8,700 civilians, and 21,000 Coast Guard volunteers.
• First female service chief in U.S. military history.

Political and Military Reactions

The White House, DHS, and USCG have not confirmed whether Trump personally ordered her rapid eviction.

• Critics argue the forced removal was a drastic overreach.
• Supporters of Trump’s administration claim she was removed for failing to uphold national security priorities.

Fagan’s abrupt firing and eviction have raised concerns over Trump’s handling of top military leadership, setting a controversial precedent for future removals.
