Former federal prosecutor Sunita Doddamani has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice, claiming wrongful and retaliatory termination.

The matter stems from her handling of abortion-clinic law in a FACE Act case.

Media coverage of the wrongful termination suit was published on August 17, 2026. CBS News reported that the former federal prosecutor was removed from her post over a FACE Act case and is now suing the Department of Justice for wrongful firing.

NPR indicated that the former federal prosecutor is seeking legal remedy for retaliatory dismissal.
