Jill Anderson, a Senior Executive Service employee at the Justice Department, was unexpectedly fired shortly after President Trump’s inauguration. Despite receiving outstanding performance evaluations over her 25-year career, she was terminated via an email with minimal explanation, which referred to presidential authority. This drastic move affected at least three other executives at her agency, highlighting concerns about the dismissal of career civil servants who, unlike political appointees, are generally protected from politically motivated firings. Anderson expressed disbelief at the termination, citing it as a violation of her civil service protections.
This is against all my civil service protections that are the law.
No conduct, nothing like that; I was shocked.
Title II of the Constitution.
I was surprised and confused, but after making some calls to colleagues realized at least three other career executives at EOIR had received the same notice.
