The Application
Samuels alleged that Trump's attempt to remove her from her position as EEOC Commissioner violated the statutory limitations on removal authority, as the action allegedly was undertaken without legitimate cause and in violation of the procedural protections established by the Civil Rights Act.
The Conclusion
The action remains active before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia under Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, with the legality of the removal attempt and the scope of presidential removal authority over EEOC Commissioners pending judicial determination.
