The Trump administration has reportedly fired two of the three Democratic commissioners on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as part of its efforts to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) from government bureaucracy.
Charlotte Burrows and Jocelyn Samuels, the now-former EEOC commissioners, were dismissed late Monday night, prompting them to explore options to challenge their removal. Both commissioners expressed concerns about the unprecedented decision to terminate them before the expiration of their five-year terms, citing it as a move that undermines the agency's independence.
