The headline "Ouster of watchdog 'designed to protect' Pompeo" appears to raise two equal possibilities: (1) the ouster is designed to protect Pompeo; (2) the watchdog - this job was designed to protect Secretary of State (currently it is Pompeo).
Do you have the same feeling as you read the headline? Is it clear to you wthout ambiguity?
The contect shows that (1) is correct.

WASHINGTON – Top congressional Democrats opened an inquiry Saturday into Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's ouster of a government watchdog and accused Pompeo of trying to shield himself from an internal probe.
