Left Media Miss

President Donald Trump signed a bipartisan law that more than triples pension benefits for living Medal of Honor recipients — currently 61 nationwide.


In this Media Miss Minute, a former immigration judge is suing the Trump administration, saying she was fired for being the child of immigrants, and President Donald Trump is tripling pension benefits for some of America’s most decorated veterans. 

Media Miss by the right: Immigration judge fired by Trump admin files discrimination lawsuit

Former immigration judge Tania Nemer is suing the Trump administration, arguing she was wrongfully terminated because she is a dual citizen of Lebanon, the child of immigrants and had previously run for local office as a Democrat.

Nemer’s lawsuit claims her firing violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

She also filed a complaint with the Justice Department’s Equal Opportunity Office, but it was dismissed.
