Trump Administration Directs Admiral to Leave Official Residence in Three Hours

Admiral Linda Fagan, the inaugural female leader of a U.S. military branch, had to leave her home on short notice due to unexpected situations arising from her ousting.
Admiral Linda Fagan, the former head of the U.S. Coast Guard who was ousted by President Donald Trump two weeks ago, received a notice to vacate her official residence at the Anacostia-Bolling military base with just three hours to comply.

NBC reported that acting Coast Guard Commandant Kevin Landy informed Fagan at 2:00 p.m. that she needed to leave the residence by 5:00 p.m., on orders from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), despite earlier assurances that she would have 60 days to secure alternative accommodations.

Following this directive, aides to Sean Planke, a senior DHS official and ex-Coast Guard officer, requested access to the residence for filming its interior while keeping it unlocked.

Fagan objected to this request, expressing to a fellow Coast Guard officer, "I do not approve of them entering my house, whether I am present or not." Landy communicated this to Planke’s team, cautioning that any entry into the dwelling would constitute trespassing.

A senior officer close to Fagan referred to the situation as "forceful and strange." A DHS official, speaking anonymously, confirmed the order for Fagan to vacate, asserting, "She was dismissed appropriately two weeks ago and continued to live in Admirals’ Row." This official also stated that alternative housing had been provided, a claim denied by an associate of Fagan, who argued that no such options were offered.

The DHS official could not determine whether the order originated directly from Trump.

Fagan, who made history in 2022 as the first woman to lead a U.S. military branch, was terminated on Trump’s second day in office.

The Department of Homeland Security cited "border security issues" and an "overemphasis on diversity and equality" as justifications for her dismissal.
