President Donald Trump’s interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin, reached out to Elon Musk this week offering federal protection for workers at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from any threats. This offer was seen as notable given Martin’s silence regarding federal health workers facing threats from a conservative group behind the “DEI Watch List” website. The website targeted primarily Black employees working in agencies under the Department of Health and Human Services through the publication of names, photos, and alleged DEI offenses. Federal health workers expressed concern for their safety as the list circulated on social media. The American Accountability Foundation, responsible for the website, did not comment on the matter. Employees at the Department of Justice are anxious about Martin’s potential actions, with concerns that he may overlook threats to federal health workers while targeting prosecutors involved in Jan. 6 cases. Martin’s involvement in the baseless claims of election fraud and his previous association with the “stop the steal” movement has caused disapproval within federal law enforcement. As workers wait to see how Martin will handle the situation, there are concerns about the safety of federal health workers and the integrity of the Department of Justice under his leadership.
