Thu Feb 06 02:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Former Coast Guard Commandant Evicted from Home with Three Hours’ Notice
**WASHINGTON** – Former Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan, the first woman to lead a branch of the U.S. military, was abruptly evicted from her government-provided housing on Tuesday with only three hours’ notice, according to sources familiar with the incident. The eviction comes weeks after Fagan’s dismissal from her post by the Trump administration, a move attributed to disagreements over border security and the Coast Guard’s focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
Fagan, who was removed from her position two weeks prior, was reportedly given a 60-day grace period to find alternative housing. However, Homeland Security officials, acting on what sources describe as a directive from the White House, ordered her removal from her residence at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling. The order was relayed to Fagan at 2 p.m. with a 3 p.m. deadline, leaving her with little time to gather her belongings.
A Homeland Security official confirmed the eviction, stating that Fagan’s continued residency in the admiral’s quarters was inappropriate following her termination. However, the official couldn’t confirm the three-hour timeframe and couldn’t definitively state if the order originated directly from President Trump.
The abrupt eviction has been criticized as petty and personal by Fagan’s allies. Further controversy arose when DHS officials attempted to photograph the interior of the house after Fagan’s departure, a move she explicitly forbade. Fagan ultimately left, leaving many personal items behind. The U.S. Transportation Command is now responsible for moving her remaining possessions.
While a DHS official claims alternative housing has been provided, Fagan’s allies dispute this. The White House and the Coast Guard have yet to comment on the incident. The circumstances surrounding Fagan’s eviction have raised questions about the appropriate treatment of former high-ranking military officials and the potentially retaliatory nature of her removal.
