A Department of Justice (DOJ) employee in a recent Project Veritas video said she was fired for confronting Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen at a restaurant in June over the Trump administration's family separation policy.

Allison Hrabar, a now-former paralegal at the DOJ, said on Tuesday that she was fired the previous day "in retaliation for confronting DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen at dinner." The confrontation came at the height of public backlash over the administration's "zero tolerance" immigration policy, which involved separating thousands of migrant children from their parents at the U.S. border.

However, her dismissal from the DOJ comes just days after the conservative activist group Project Veritas released a video showing her saying there is "a lot of talk at [the DOJ] about ... how we can resist from the inside." The DOJ said at the time that it was investigating her conduct in the video.

Hrabar on Tuesday launched a GoFundMe page to help cover her medical costs. The page has a goal of $7,000 goal and does not mention the Project Veritas video.

A DOJ official confirmed to The Hill on Tuesday that Hrarbar is no longer an employee at the department, but would not specify the reason for her departure.

Hrabar is a member of the Metro DC Democratic Socialists of America. The group told The Hill that she "is going to decline to comment or answer questions at this time."

"I don’t regret standing up for immigrants unable to advocate for themselves," Hrabar wrote on her GoFundMe page. "My only concern is that the Assistant Attorney General’s decision to force me out of a job has left me without insurance to cover my high medical costs, and without an income to cover the legal fees needed to fight back."

...


Hrabar in the video discussed an instance when a worker intentionally slowed down the process of taking food stamp recipients off the program so the recipients could continue to participate in the program.


"Department policy prohibits misuse of government resources to advance personal interests," the DOJ spokesman said. "We are looking into this immediately and have referred this matter to the Inspector General as well."

A good start. She sounds like a LOSER who needs to be tossed out of any position of influence and left free to survive or not in the real world.
