First Female Coast Guard Commandant, Linda Fagan, Evicted from Home After 3-Hour Notice
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trump has nominated retired Brigadier General Anthony J. Tata - known
for his history of Islamophobic and other racist remarks - to a senior
Pentagon post charged with overseeing deployments. Tata once called
President Obama a "terrorist leader."

This comes as the Trump administration on Tuesday evicted former Coast
Guard Commandant Linda Fagan from her home with three hours of notice -
without enough time to even gather her personal belongings. Fagan is a
four-star admiral and the first woman to lead a branch of the military.
She was removed from her post on Trump's second day in office. Homeland
Security Department officials cited Fagan's "excessive focus" on
diversity, equity and inclusion policies.
