The Trump administration gave the former highest-ranking woman in the military just three hours to leave her home following her ouster for supporting diversity, equity and inclusion policies.
President Donald Trump fired Coast Guard commandant, Admiral Linda L. Fagan, almost immediately after he took office on January 20 – leaving her to discover the news while waiting to take a photo with him at the Commander in Chief ball that night.
Still, Fagan continued to live at her government-funded home on Joint Base Anacostia Bolling until she was abruptly evicted on Tuesday, NBC News reports.
‘It’s petty and it’s personal,’ a friend of Fagan’s claimed.
Coast Guard leaders had initially given the four-star admiral a 60-day waiver to find new housing.
But on Tuesday, Homeland Security officials told the acting commandant, Kevin Lundy, that she needed to vacate because the president wants her out of the quarters.
Lundy reportedly informed Fagan at 2pm on Tuesday that she only had three hours to get out.
‘It’s a really strange power play,’ Fagan’s friend said.
