Judge Upholds CIA Firing of Doctor Over COVID Mandate Role

  • On May 9, 2025, U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff declined to block the CIA from terminating Dr. Terry Adirim, the director of its Center for Global Health Services.
  • The termination followed allegations that Adirim was criticized for her 2021 role mandating COVID-19 vaccines for military personnel and claims she was denied due process.
  • Adirim sued the CIA on May 2, accusing conservative activist Ivan Raiklin of defamation and orchestrating a political campaign leading to her removal, which the CIA denies.
  • Judge Nachmanoff concluded that there was a lack of adequate proof that the CIA had engaged in defamation against Dr. Adirim, and therefore did not find grounds to prevent her termination despite allegations of retaliation.
  • The ruling permits the CIA to end Adirim’s employment under a contract clause allowing termination with 30 days' notice, while the lawsuit remains active in federal court.
