“This administration is targeting Dr. Joslin because it wants to scare people into silence,” said Joanna Citron Day, general counsel at Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, adding that Joslin “exercised their First Amendment rights and is being punished to send a clear message — speech the administration doesn’t like will not be tolerated.”
PEER is representing Joslin in the federal lawsuit filed in the District of Columbia along with Clayton Bailey, founding partner at the Civil Service Law Center.
