美国司法部前赦免律师利兹·欧耶周四向哥伦比亚特区美国地方法院提起诉讼，指控司法部和司法部长托德·布兰奇非法解雇了她12。欧耶声称她在2025年初因拒绝为演员梅尔·吉布森推荐恢复枪支权利而遭到解雇12。根据欧耶的说法，她被要求"不顾职责、为吉布森提供政治便利"，理由是吉布森与特朗普总统的关系2。
欧耶以公务员保护和第一修正案权利被侵犯为由提起诉讼1。布兰奇在参议院确认听证会上否认了有关梅尔·吉布森的指控1，声称欧耶被解雇是因为她对特朗普政权的建议不一致，特别是她建议对所有37名应受宽减的死囚进行减刑1。拜登在卸任前宣布对40名联邦死囚中的37人进行减刑，将其改为终身监禁1。
A former pardon lawyer at the Justice Department sued on Thursday, claiming she was unlawfully fired after refusing to recommend restoring actor Mel Gibson's gun rights.12 Elizabeth Ouye filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia against the Justice Department and Attorney General Todd Blanche.2 Ouye alleges she was terminated in early 2025 after declining requests to provide what she characterizes as political favors for Gibson based on his relationship with President Trump.2
According to Ouye's account, she was asked to disregard her professional duties and assist Gibson despite having concerns about the merits of his case.2 She contends her firing violated civil service protections and her First Amendment rights.1 Blanche has disputed these claims, stating instead that Ouye was dismissed because her recommendations—including advice to commute the sentences of all 37 of 40 federal death row inmates—were inconsistent with the Trump administration's policies.1 Biden had announced commutations for 37 of the 40 federal death row inmates before leaving office, converting their sentences to life imprisonment.1
