ATF chief legal counsel fired by Bondi in latest Justice Department shakeup
Fox News ^ | 2/21/25 | Emma Colton

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms' (ATF) chief legal counsel was fired by Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday, the former ATF official confirmed on social media.

"Earlier today, I was served official notice from the Attorney General of the United States that I was being removed from my position as the Chief Counsel of ATF and my employment with the Department of Justice terminated," Pamela Hicks posted on her LinkedIn page on Thursday, confirming the termination.

Hicks had served as ATF's chief counsel since 2021 under the Biden administration, and served as deputy chief counsel for ATF under President Donald Trump's first administration. She spent 23 years overall as an attorney within the Department of Justice (DOJ), she posted to LinkedIn.

"Serving as ATF Chief Counsel has been the highest honor of my career and working with the people at ATF and throughout the Department has been a pleasure," Hicks continued in her LinkedIn post. "I thank my colleagues for their friendship and partnership over the years."

A source familiar with the termination said Hicks was escorted out of the ATF building upon her termination.

"ATF respects the rights of all our employees," ATF told Fox News Digital when asked about Hicks' termination. "As a general policy, ATF does not comment on personnel matters, including but not limited to, specific personnel issues, actions, or the existence of ongoing investigations."

It’s amazing how they always end up looking just as I think they would look.

Looks like a boy who was on some TV show years ago, but I can’t put my finger on it.

Battle of the Pams.
Pam Hicks looks like a young David Gates, lead singer of the 70’s soft rock group Bread. Excellent tenor and sense of melody, Gates, I mean, not Ms Hicks!

That’s supposed to be a woman? That guy’s hardly trying. Rush used to say feminism was created to give ugly women access to the mainstream i guess DEI took it a step further to allow deviants and perverts to be considered normal. People don’t like the freak show and aren’t afraid to say it anymore.
