Trump fires two Democratic commissioners of agency that enforces civil rights laws in the workplace

President Donald Trump fired two Democratic commissioners of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Charlotte Burrows and Jocelyn Samuels, in an unprecedented move aimed at enforcing his policies.
The firings leave the EEOC with one Republican commissioner and three vacancies that Trump can fill, following a broader shakeup at employment law enforcement agencies.
Burrows stated that the dismissals undermine the agency's efforts to protect employees from discrimination, while Samuels called her removal a violation of the law.
Acting EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas emphasized prioritizing the elimination of unlawful DEI-motivated discrimination against American workers.
