Transgender NSA employee files discrimination lawsuit against Trump administration

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.advocate.com/politics/transgender-nsa-employee-trump-lawsuit

This lawsuit bears watching closely!

Tania Nemer is one of dozens of immigration judges fired by the Trump administration this year. In a lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C. on Dec 1, Nemer alleges she was discriminated against on the basis of sex and national origin in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.

In spite of receiving the highest performance rating possible during her time at DOJ, both her supervisor and the chief immigration judge there told her they didn't know why she was being dismissed. She said she never got official notice about any reasons for her dismissal.

The lawsuit says, โ€œThe President of the United States has asserted a constitutional right to discriminate against federal employees.โ€ "If the government prevails in transforming the law, it will eviscerate the professional, non-partisan civil service as we know it." https://www.npr.org/2025/12/01/g-s1-99279/fired-worker-sues-government #DoJ #Lawsuit #Discrimination #CivilRights #FirstAmendment #Law #Immigration #Judges #TitleVII

#Drumpf shakedown of #UCLA over alleged "Anti-Semitism" on campus sees #USGov freeze over $500 million in federal funding for imperiled research programs and #DOJ demands school pay a #Billion dollars baksheesh as "#reparations".

#Federal officials demand a third party oversight official installed to insure #compliance that #SouthernCalifornia school will no longer viollate #TitleVII of the #CivilRightsAct, prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.

Last month Attorney General #PamBondi announced she would "force UCLA to pay a heavy price for putting Jewish Americans at risk"

#California #GovNewsom.and #UCregents apparently not amused and will continue negotiating against paying a $1 billion #edu settlement to #DrumpfAdmin

The probe is the latest move against #colleges & #universities by the #Trump admin, which has also launched investigations into campus *antisemitism* [#FreeSpeech] & has sought to freeze #research #funding.

The #DOJ's [former] *#CivilRights* Division alleged that the university system openly measures new hires by their race & sex. The probe will investigate whether its practices represent a pattern or practice of *#discrimination* under #TitleVII of the #CivilRightsAct.โ€ฆ
