Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is being sued for religious 

discrimination by a Muslim State Department employee who 

claims her supervisors refused to let her telecommute so she 

could observe Ramadan, and she was then harassed

for making the request. 

In her federal lawsuit, Azza Zaki, who works in the 

State Department division that oversees the Au Pear program, 

claims that following her telecommuting requests she 

was “subjected to ridicule including but not limited to

harassing emails” and “being laughed at during meetings.”

The lawsuit was quietly filed this June in the United States 

District Court for the District of Columbia Circuit.

It charges illegal discrimination based on religion and

national origin.  

She is being represented by Morris Fischer, whose big

 whistle blower cases including representing the ICE whisetleblower who

 was illegally fired  and smeared by the ICE press office after testifying 

before Congress.  

This reporter’s stories exposing the dismissal and smearing prompted 

investigations by the Senate Homeland Security Committee and the

 Department of Homeland Security Inspector General.
