Phyllis Fong, a 22-year veteran of the department, had earlier told colleagues that she intended to stay after the White House terminated her on Friday, saying that she didn’t believe the administration had followed proper protocols, the sources said.

In an email to colleagues on Saturday, reviewed by Reuters, she said the independent council of the inspectors general on integrity and efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time”.

    I would like to see a judge put a block on all new executive orders until the current ones are adjudicated. There should be some number of contested orders that demand that they are not being made in good faith. The executive could always push the trial process as fast as possible to get back to it.
