🚨 JUST IN: The DOJ just fired a federal employee not for misconduct, but because her husband built an app that tracks ICE raids.
You read that right. A woman lost her government job for who she married.
They didnt accuse her of leaking data. They didnt prove wrongdoing.
Her crime was being married to a man who used his First Amendment rights to challenge an unaccountable immigration dragnet.
