Former immigration judge Tania Nemer sued the Justice Department after getting canned from her probationary gig at Cleveland Immigration Court, claiming they axed her because she's a woman of Lebanese descent who used to be registered as a Democrat. Her complaint says DOJ violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and trampled her First Amendment rights, especially since the other two probationary judges at her court kept their jobs, and both happened to be dudes who aren't Lebanese.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission tossed her initial complaint without digging into it, arguing the Attorney General can legally fire lower-level appointees for basically any reason under Article II of the Constitution. Nemer's legal team from Washington Litigation Group fired back, saying the government is trying to twist constitutional powers into a license for discrimination against federal workers.

DOJ has reportedly dropped at least 70 immigration judges while sitting on over 3 million backlogged cases.
