Fired DHS Worker Sues Over Criticism of Noem, Alleged “Honey Pot” Operation
A former Department of Homeland Security employee, Brandon Wright, is suing the agency after being fired for his off-duty criticisms of Kristi Noem. Wright alleges the termination violated his First Amendment rights, claiming his private conversations were secretly recorded by a woman he met on Bumble, who he suspects was working with James O’Keefe’s OMG. Following the video’s distribution, Wright was placed on administrative leave and eventually fired, with DHS citing his remarks as “conduct unbecoming of a federal employee.” The lawsuit argues his protected speech was the sole basis for his termination and was filed in a federal court in Washington D.C.
