U.S. Congressmen Eli Crane (AZ-02) and Matt Gaetz (FL-01) have issued a letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan, seeking clarification on the U.S. Coast Guard's (USCG) focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives over operational readiness. The letter follows the USCG's decision to temporarily decommission several ships due to staffing shortages.
