Federal judge rules she lacks authority to reinstate fired Yosemite ranger who flew trans pride flag

A federal judge ruled she lacks authority to reinstate a Yosemite National Park ranger who was fired for flying a trans pride flag on their day off. The ranger, Shannon Joslin, sued the Department of the Interior, arguing their firing violated free speech protections, but the judge dismissed the case, stating legal constraints prevent her from blocking potential criminal charges or ruling on the dismissal's constitutionality.
