A Department of Justice staffer claims she was abruptly fired after it emerged that her husband was the brains behind a controversial anti-ICE app that warns users when the feds are closing in.

Carolyn Feinstein, who worked as a DOJ forensic accountant in Austin, Texas, alleges she was terminated last Friday as “retribution” for her spouse’s radical alert system, in which she has minority shares.


quote:

“ICEBlock is an app that illegal aliens use to evade capture while endangering the lives of ICE officers,” the spokesperson said, adding that the department “will not tolerate threats against law enforcement or law enforcement officers.”


Probabty a good fire if she things OWNING the app does not make her culpable,

There will be some loon on the left that compares this to noing where a DUI checkpoint or speed trap is. If you are one of those loons please do not comment and go to sleep.

She can be confused.

That's fine.

Her arse is still fired, though.

You do something in your spare time to intentionally undermine your employer and see how long you keep your job once they find out about it.

She's not going to jail for it. Her free speech isn't being violated. Now if she was posting privileged info on that app that she was able to get via her DOJ employment, then she should face charges.

Congrats to this dipshit, who found out there are actually ways to get fired as a federal government employee contrary to popular belief.


It may be HARD to get fired as one, but there is always a way.

True it is free speech but free speech sometimes has unintended consequences

As a famous judge once said, you can't yell "Fire" in a crowded theater. So, there are limits on speech. And all speech ain't free as anyone who has been sued for slander et al will tell you.
If it could be successfully argued that this app put lives in danger? abetted a felony? HMMM

Her free speech has not been compromised. All that has happened is that she has now learned that there can be consequences for your actions.

She will learn to deal with it, or not.

Well that's a pretty good reason to fire someone. It's not just something that her husband did, she is part owner. So she is profiting from an app that subverts the US Justice system.

I bet she had no objections to accepting her salary from such a corrupt government though

Is it though? There are limits to speech. Even in the USA. If the app uses privileged info or sets agents up to be ambushed…

We don’t know enough yet to say it is protected speech.

A device to stalk or track is not free speech. Particularly when that information is being provided to hinder an active investigation.

And it is possibly a violation of 18 U.S.C. 1512(c),

I don't like the hypocrisy being pointed out and certainly don't want to discuss how this attacks the 1st Amendment, so I'm trying to remove the ability to discuss either summarily

Those are theoretical arguments, but bad ones.

If successful they would basically create a permanent loophole in the 1A that government could exploit in perpetuity, by labeling any speech as "putting lives in danger" or "abetting" some felony

How is obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting, or whatever other criminal act you want to call it free speech?
