US EditionCivil rights agency moves to fire judge fighting Trump directives
- The federal agency responsible for enforcing workplace civil rights has taken steps to dismiss Administrative Judge Karen Ortiz due to her opposition to policies concerning protections for transgender employees in 2025.
- This action followed President Trump's executive order defining two immutable sexes, prompting the EEOC to drop at least seven transgender discrimination cases and lower related case priority.
- In February, Ortiz sent a mass email sharply rebuking Acting Chair Andrea Lucas, declaring that Lucas was unsuitable to lead the agency and lacked the qualifications necessary to practice law.

- Ortiz plans to contest her termination with legal and union support as the EEOC moves toward a Republican majority that could reshape civil rights enforcement policies.

The Trump U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) now appears to be trying to remove EEOC Administrati…
