Judge Allows CIA to Fire Doctor Who Helped Enforce Military COVID Mandate

The CIA claimed that Adilim did not end against politics, but because of “multiple complaints” from CIA staff about her actions at work.

A federal judge rejected an emergency bid by Dr. Terry Adilim to halt termination from the CIA and rejected her claim that political activists coordinated retaliatory shootings for their role in enforcing the military’s Covid-19 vaccine orders.

In a ruling issued May 9th, US District Judge Michael Nachmanov discovered that Adirim failed to demonstrate the potential for success in the merits of her claim that the CIA violated its constitutional rights. This decision clears the way government agencies proceed to terminate Adilim’s employment under a contractual clause that allows dismissal on a 30-day notice.
Adilim, a former senior Department of Defense official who served as director of the CIA’s Global Health Services, claimed in court filings he was the target of a politically motivating campaign led by activist Ivan Reichlin. In the lawsuit, she alleged that Likelyn slandered her as a traitor and “architect” on the Pentagon’s Covid-19 vaccine mission, and that he registered fellow activist Laura Rumer to persuade President Donald Trump to intervene in the CIA.

Her lawsuit includes CIA, Likelyn, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Conservative Nonprofit Future, Inc. was named the defendant. It allegedly breached due process, honour damage, breach of contract and violating privacy laws due to alleged leaks in relation to her firing of Breitbart News.

A Justice Department lawyer who presented a 25-page opposition summary on May 6 called Adirim’s theory “speculative and unsupported” and argued that her theory relies on loosely portrayed connections and unfounded assumptions about political influence.

“The plaintiffs accurately identify the accusations against Ivan Reichlin, a non-government actor, not the CIA, who accused Ivan Reichlin of adjusting the dismissal through a scheme of honor and political influence,” the lawyer wrote. “An allegation of exaggerated and untrue claim that it is, let alone a claim worthy of an injunctive order, does not actually constitute a viable claim against the federal defendant.”

The Justice Department confirmed that Adilim’s name appeared on Reichlin’s so-called “deep state target list,” but said this has nothing to do with the CIA decision. “There is no reason other than the close timing of Ms. Rumer’s visit to the White House and the CIA’s communication of a termination decision to the plaintiffs, suggesting that the two are linked,” Filing said.

The CIA alleged that Adilim did not end against politics, but that “multiple complaints” from CIA staff ended due to “multiple complaints” about “inappropriate and harassment” behavior at work.

According to a declaration from the agency’s Deputy Chief Operating Officer, the senior leader began reviewing her actions a few weeks before the White House visit that Roommer reported, and decided to end her independently.
The political and legal debate over the military’s Covid-19 vaccination mission intensified just days before the court’s ruling. On May 7, the Pentagon issued new guidance on the sweep, acknowledging that the mandate was “unfair, massive, and completely unnecessary burden” for service members. The memo directed the military review board to revive the troops that were discharged through mandate, to remove relevant disciplinary records, and declared the very lack of a legitimate process in implementing vaccine compliance was “fraud.”

Adilim, who served as Secretary of Defense on Health Affairs and signed key policy documents enabling the Pentagon duties, became the focus of her extensive political calculations, even if the CIA had maintained her fire.

In her complaints, Adilim argued that being fired weeks ago to qualify for federal retirement would be irreparable harm, and that she was slandered after decades of public service and put her family at risk.

The CIA said the decision was internal and legal and was based on employee complaints rather than political pressure.

In response to the May 9 ruling, Adilim’s lawyer Kevin Carroll told the Epoch Times in an emailed statement.

The case remains aggressive in federal courts, but without the injunction she was sought, Adirim’s termination is set to go as planned.

“Terry Adilim, you’ve been fired!!! Your lawyer is here next,” Likely said in a post on social media platform X.
