California immigration judge sues DOJ, alleging she was fired for being a registered Democrat, a woman over 40

A California immigration judge, Kyra Lilien, is suing the Department of Justice, alleging she was fired due to her registered Democrat status and affiliations with immigrant-rights groups. She claims her termination violated her civil and First Amendment rights. The lawsuit names nearly 30 other immigration judges who were either fired or not converted from probationary periods.
