Talk about a tough boss! Attorney General Pam Bondi isn’t mincing words, or actions, when it comes to disrespecting law enforcement. A recent incident involving a DOJ staffer and National Guard members in D.C. led to an immediate termination. What do you think about such swift disciplinary action?

Attorney General Pam Bondi has once again demonstrated a firm stance against disrespect towards law enforcement personnel, initiating the swift termination of a Justice Department employee. This decisive action underscores her administration’s zero-tolerance policy for conduct deemed inappropriate by federal service members, sending a clear message across the department regarding Government Conduct.

The recent incident involved a paralegal specialist accused of making an obscene gesture towards members of the National Guard. These dedicated service members were deployed in Washington, D.C., as part of President Donald Trump’s broader initiative to address crime within the nation’s capital, adding a layer of sensitivity to the alleged misconduct, specifically the National Guard Incident.

The DOJ Staffer Fired termination memo, confirmed by the Justice Department, unequivocally stated, “Based on your inappropriate conduct towards National Guard service members, your employment with the Department of Justice is hereby terminated, and you are removed from federal service effective immediately.” This direct and unambiguous language highlights the severity with which such actions are perceived.

Multiple sources, including a Justice Department official who spoke to NBC News, confirmed that the employee, identified as Elizabeth Baxter, was observed and heard using the vulgar gesture and shouting at Guard members on several occasions. These alleged incidents reportedly spanned a two-week period, though NBC News has not independently verified every accusation, prompting this significant Attorney General Action.

The termination received public commendation from Gates McGavick, a spokesperson for the Justice Department. McGavick’s statement, “if you don’t support law enforcement, [Attorney General Pam Bondi’s] DOJ might not be a good fit,” further amplified Pam Bondi’s administration’s commitment to upholding respect for those serving on the front lines.

This recent dismissal marks the second time within the month that Attorney General Pam Bondi has taken stringent action against a Justice Department employee for behavior deemed disrespectful toward law enforcement. Her consistent approach solidifies her reputation for maintaining strict Employee Discipline and ethical conduct within her ranks.

Weeks prior, Bondi had fired a department paralegal, Sean Dunn, after he was caught on camera throwing a sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent. This earlier incident, occurring outside a popular D.C. nightlife area, was met with a similar stern response from the Attorney General.

At the time of Dunn’s dismissal, Bondi had publicly declared, “you will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.” Although Bondi initially sought felony charges against Dunn, a grand jury declined to issue an indictment, indicating a lack of probable cause from local residents; however, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro subsequently charged Dunn with misdemeanor assault.
