A Justice Department spokesperson, Gates McGavick, praised the dismissal on Friday, stating in a social media post, “if you don’t support law enforcement, [Attorney General Pam Bondi’s] DOJ might not be a good match.”

This dismissal is the second instance this month where Bondi has removed a Justice Department employee for behavior she considers inappropriate towards law enforcement.

Weeks ago, Bondi fired a department paralegal after he was caught on camera throwing a sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent outside of a popular nightlife area in D.C. She wrote at the time, “you will NOT work in this administration while disrespecting our government and law enforcement.”

Bondi initially sought to secure felony charges against that employee, Sean Dunn, but a grand jury declined to return an indictment, a signal that local residents did not identify probable cause to back that charge. U.S. District Attorney Jeanine Pirro instead charged Dunn with misdemeanor assault.

Trump has consistently touted his effort to mitigate crime in D.C., which was already declining, as incredibly successful, pointing to further decreases this month in acts like carjackings. But the effort has faced mounting criticism from Democratic lawmakers and protest from D.C. residents, many of whom have characterized Trump’s operation as overblown, a scare tactic and racially motivated.
