"The Department of Justice (DOJ) is offering $25,000 signing bonuses to attorneys willing to investigate immigration cases and doctors who treat trans people, a sign that the current administration is having a hard time finding lawyers willing to administer its policies."
"Lawyers have been quitting the DOJ at a heightened rate this past year, often in protest of the administration's policies that involve large-scale immigration crackdowns and seeking private medical information of children believed to be transgender. Lawyers who work for the DOJ often take a pay cut compared to what they could earn in the private sector, but they are often idealists who want to improve the world through their work."
"The Civil Division has been demanding hospitals nationwide turn over patient and employee information in order to prosecute or sue doctors who provide gender-affirming care."
The Department of Justice is offering $25,000 signing bonuses and retention allowances of $60 to $220 per pay period to attract attorneys to the Civil Division for investigating healthcare providers offering gender-affirming care to transgender youth and litigating immigration enforcement policies. The bonus requires a two-year commitment and is contingent on funding availability. DOJ attorneys have been resigning at elevated rates in protest of the administration's policies involving immigration crackdowns and demands for private medical information of transgender children. The Civil Division has been demanding hospitals nationwide provide patient and employee information to prosecute or sue doctors providing gender-affirming care, with these investigations designated as enforcement priorities by the Attorney General.
