President Trump fired the heads of the Transportation Security Administration and Coast Guard and eliminated all the members of a key aviation security advisory group

The Trump administration has fired U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Linda Fagan due to her supposed “excessive” focus on DEI initiatives. Appointed by President Joe Biden, Fagan was the first uniformed woman leader of a U.S. Armed Forces branch.

Homeland Security officials have removed Adm. Linda Fagan from her role as the Coast Guard’s commandant, according to a note sent to service members — the first firing of a top military officer under the Trump administration.

He began by dismissing four people: retired Gen. Mark Milley from the National Infrastructure Advisory Council; celebrity chef José Andrés from the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition; Brian Hook from the Wilson Center for Scholars; and Keisha Lance Bottoms, former mayor of Atlanta, from the President’s Export Council.

Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan was relieved of her duties Jan. 20, President Donald Trump’s first day in office. Fagan was the first woman ever to head a branch of the U.S. military and the first to be fired.
