Fired NTSB Vice Chair sues Trump over removal from office as part of DEI purge

A lawyer for Brown, Victoria Nugent, said, "at a time when transportation safety is top of mind, we should be strengthening, not weakening, the systems meant to protect all Americans."

Since January, Trump has fired two Democratic members of the Federal Trade Commission, and members of the National Labor Relations Board, Merit Systems Protection Board and Federal Election Commission, among other DEI hires.
