A judge resisted Trump’s order on gender identity. The EEOC just fired her
- Administrative Judge Karen Ortiz, working at the EEOC's New York office, was fired on Tuesday for opposing President Trump's executive order on gender identity.
- Her dismissal came after she publicly criticized Trump’s executive order defining sex strictly as male or female and condemned Acting Chair Andrea Lucas for enforcing compliance with the directive.
- The EEOC dropped at least seven pending cases on behalf of transgender workers, paused new gender identity cases, and classified them as lowest priority under Lucas's leadership.
- Ortiz said, "They've lost their way," vowed to keep fighting for the LGBTQ community, and described losing a six-figure job as taking courage to uphold her values.
- Her firing signals a major shift in the EEOC's civil rights enforcement and raises concerns about the agency's treatment of LGBTQIA+ workers under current leadership.
