The settlement should come from those responsible for the firing, not the insurance company or taxpayers.
She’s “permitted “ to reapply for her position.
Nope. That should be her NEXT lawsuit. To be REINSTATED to the department...with all subsequent raises and promotions she would naturally have applied for during the lost time.
“I believe it — that the insurrection itself was a terrorist act, and she was there in support of it,” said Salazar during his deposition.”
That looks like a nothing-but-net defamation lawsuit to me.
From the article:
“Mathai never went inside the Capitol building and was not formally accused of criminal wrongdoing by any law enforcement agency.”
That’s a pretty important little piece of information there.
Texas Lieutenant Fired By Sheriff Who Campaigned for Biden After Attending Trump’s Jan. 6 Rally, Despite Never Entering Capitol

A detention lieutenant was fired from the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office in Texas for attending the Trump rally in DC on January 6, even though she never entered the Capitol.
Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar, who fired Roxanne Mathai for attending the rally, campaigned for Joe Biden during the 2020 election.
Mathai had posted about being at the rally on social media, but never entered the building. She even specifically posted that she had no desire to enter the building and break the law.
Though she was simply exercising her First Amendment rights and attending a rally hosted by the then-President of the United States, Sheriff Salazar immediately began publicly condemning her....
Maybe she should run for his job now. She has more sense.
