Attorney General Pam Bondi fired a Justice Department employee for “inappropriate conduct” toward National Guard troops who have been deployed to Washington as part of President Trump’s crackdown on crime.

“Today I took action to terminate a DOJ employee for inappropriate conduct towards National Guard service members in DC.

@TheJusticeDept remains committed to defending President Trump’s agenda and fighting to make America safe again,” Ms. Bondi posted Friday on X.

“If you oppose our mission and disrespect law enforcement — you will NO LONGER work at DOJ,” she continued.

Elizabeth Baxter, a paralegal who worked in the Justice Department’s Environmental and Natural Resources Division, was the terminated employee. She could not be reached for comment.

“Based on your inappropriate conduct towards National Guard service members, your employment with the Department of Justice is hereby terminated and you are removed from federal service effective immediately,” Ms. Bondi wrote in a memo announcing the removal of Ms. Baxter.

Ms. Baxter is alleged to have shown up to work on Aug. 18, bragging to a Justice Department security guard that she flipped off a soldier at the Metro Center stop and yelled, “F—k the National Guard.” She was later seen on DOJ security footage demonstrating to the security guard how she held up her middle finger.

A week later, she reportedly told another security guard that she despises the guardsmen and told them to “F—k off.”

She is the second Justice Department employee axed by Ms. Bondi for anti-Guard moves.

Earlier in August, she dumped Sean Dunn after he allegedly threw a Subway sandwich at a Customs and Border Protection agent. A grand jury failed to indict him on felony charges, and he now faces a misdemeanor for the incident.

“Very simple: if you don’t support law enforcement, @AGPamBondi’s DOJ might not be a good fit,” DOJ spokesman Gates McGavick said Friday on X.
