Attorney General Pam Bondi took decisive action on Friday by terminating another Department of Justice paralegal, Elizabeth Baxter, after a series of incidents that highlighted a pattern of disrespect toward National Guard personnel stationed in Washington, DC. Baxter, a member of the DOJ’s environmental division, had become the focus of internal scrutiny after she allegedly directed obscene gestures at guardsmen while commuting to work.

Her termination comes in the wake of similar disciplinary measures against a fellow paralegal, Sean Charles Dunn, whose own controversial conduct had already drawn significant public attention. The firing underscores the administration’s insistence on upholding professional conduct within federal offices and sends a clear message that employees who openly oppose or disrespect law enforcement personnel will not be tolerated. Bondi framed the dismissals as part of a broader effort to defend the priorities of the administration while maintaining decorum within critical government agencies.
