The Application
Comans challenges her termination as lacking statutory authority and procedural safeguards, and alleges that DHS violated the Privacy Act by improperly handling her personal information during the firing process. Resolution depends on whether she held a constitutionally protected interest in her SES position and whether the agency followed required procedures.
The Conclusion
The case remains active in United States District Court for the District of Columbia under Judge Ana C. Reyes with no final judgment rendered. The court will determine whether Comans's rights were violated and what remedies are appropriate.
