SCOOP: DOJ Analyst and Wife of ICEBlock App Developer Wrongfully Terminated

Laura Loomer called for Carolyn Feinstein's termination on Twitter, then Tom Homan told Newsmax that he spoke to the DoJ about her. Carolyn was terminated within 24 hours.

Carolyn Feinstein has spent the better part of the last decade as a forensic accountant for the Department of Justice in the Office of the U.S. Trustee. Like all federal workers I know, she was a dedicated public servant, loyal to the oath, and mission-focused.

“If you're not familiar with the U.S. Trustee program, it's a small program in the DOJ that's referred to as the watchdog of the bankruptcy system. A good part of my job as an auditor was to use my forensic accounting skills to detect and root out fraud and abuse against that system,” she told me.

But this past Friday, all of that changed. She says she received an email informing her she was terminated effectively immediately, with no notice and not so much as a phone call. “But I wasn’t just terminated,” she said, “I was targeted.” According to Feinstein, she was removed from service as retaliation for her husband’s activism.

Feinstein’s husband is Joshua Aaron, the developer of the ICEBlock app which allows users to report ICE sightings in real time to warn others. “And to say this administration is unhappy with the app is an understatement,” Carolyn said.

As many of you know, I interviewed Feinstein’s husband Joshua Aaron on the Daily Beans Podcast on July 2nd. Since then, the right wing noise machine has been frothing at the mouth - doxxing and harassing both Joshua and Carolyn, accusing them of everything from obstruction of justice to treason.

Then last week, after multiple rounds of Laura Loomer calling for Carolyn’s termination on Twitter, a Newsmax host asked the acting director of ICE Tom Homan about the tweets. Homan replied that Loomer had contacted him, and that he had contacted the Department of Justice. “Within 24 hours of that statement, I received that termination email,” Feinstein said.

She added “I don't know that Russ Vought really knows what he's up against when he takes on the federal workforce… Federal employees are resilient, they're strong, and they're patient… I'm really thankful and happy you had me on today so I can set the record straight.”
