Racial Class Lawsuit with the “High-Tech Lynching” of Named Complainant Matthew Fogg Who Refused To “Sell Out”
Washington, D.C.— Matthew Fogg, a retired Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal and 1994 named Class Complainant in the landmark case Fogg et al. v. Garland – U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) was removed in a May 13th, 2024 EEOC Order as the named Class Agent by EEOC Administrative Judge Sharon Debbage Alexander after Fogg filed the EEOC Complaint in DC U.S. District Court on March 19th, 2024, [1:24-cv-00792], previously report in the Washington Post covering 30 years of silence, inaction, and neglect, marking a pivotal turn in this historic legal journey. Class Agent Spokesperson Fogg noted several irreconcilable differences with the Class representatives (Law firm) of Sanford, Heisler, Sharp, LLP. Chair, who emphasized a personal relationship with President Joe Biden, made the President substantial campaign donations and told the President to pick Kamala Harris for Vice President.
Fogg complained that the law firm had a conflict of interest by specifically protecting the President’s DOJ by devaluing the lawsuit from $300 million down to an unjust $15 million settlement that only favored the law firm and DOJ despite decades of racial disparate impact and horrific incidents such as White deputy marshals shooting at pictures of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on a Federal gun range, racial profiling of Black suspects and a webpage highlighting a New York Post featured headline depicting the U.S. Marshals Service as Bigots With Badges. The EEOC AJ decision to remove Fogg as a Class Agent on a motion from the Class lawyers represents a form of lynching for a pioneer Black Whistleblower who dared to challenge the paltry monetary and insignificant programmatic relief that holds the U.S. DOJ blameless after 30 years and far below other comparative government settlement agreements. Fogg said, “If it stands, the settlement will only net a small number of potentially 10,000 claimants from $5,000 to $62,000; many still working will earn nothing and face more retaliation, while the law firm will obtain $6 million and upwards”. Fogg said this EEOC settlement is a travesty of justice on steroids compared to his intent in filing the original Class Complaint in 1994 and is indicative of EEOC collusion to racism in its purest form that exemplifies Black lives don’t matter. “The other 13 Black Class Agents “sold out” with the law firm, knowing the payout formula would get them more money, although many other claimants wouldn’t get suitable relief or see changes in programs utilized to retaliate against black employees, said Fogg.
On June 12, 2024, Fogg filed an Appeal with the EEOC Office of Federal Operations alleging Fraud by the EEOC AJ for granting a motion by the previously fired law firm that requested removal of Fogg as a Class Agent, refusing to address Fogg’s November 1, 2023 motion terminating the law firm for unfair EEOC settlement negotiations and, for the EEOC keeping jurisdiction of the case knowing that regulations and DOJ officials supported the change of jurisdiction filed in DC Federal Court.

This case should have been settled over 30 years ago. “Justice Delayed is Justice DENIED”
I am NBOT a novice and very familiar with the so called “Admininistrative” law processes alike EEOC, MSPB and the OSC and they are ALL a waste of time as they can NOT enforce the laws against a Federal Agency.
Each incident of retaliation is worth “up to” $300,000 and I too also had a “Classic case of Whistleblower retaliation nd still suffer to this day due to the Death threats, no retirement and NO Social Security after 20+ years of Federal law enforcement service in U.s. Secret Service, SDPD, U.S. Mint Police and 15 years U.s. Customs Service where I reported corruption and Human Trafficking by high-ranking Customs officials who got paid over $250,000 for 167 illegal aliens. I reported thrut he internal affairs in U.S. Customs, U.S. Treasury, DOJ/FBI and U.s. Attorney’s office and still Nothing was ever done. I still got DEATH THREATS and was forced out to protect my Family.
The Government does NOT Care about US in law enforcement especially when you do your job by the Oath of Office you swear to. ‘
It seems you have to have an Attorney when you get sworn in to a law enforcement agency to prevent such things from happening.
The NTEU in my case FAILED to do their jobs as well.
Whistleblowers are treated in the most “unfair” ways and still the laws do NOT protect us.
I support CARCEL and Matt Fogg and the U.S. Marshal’s in a very difficult job.
I was cross-trained and deputized a U.S. Marshal when I was with SDPD as well.
Also 40 different agencies when I was U.S. Customs.(See also https://customscorruption.com/ page 2
Everyone posting about this sorry settlement where most of you will get zero compensation for the discrimination you faced while the Law firm walks away fat dumb and happy with money. You get a promise the U.S. Marshals Service will do better. Instead you should be lining up be hind the objection and th law suit filed in Federl District Court. What that legally means the EEOC Case is done. Wake up and stop dreaming. Call Mathew Fogg. Get in before you get had by this Settlement. As it stands only 5 people have objected. The rest of you are still on the plantation.
AND I HIS WHY THEY CAN’T PAY OUT FAST ENOUGH
There is no justice in this case being resolved unfairly. Let this be a warning against only filing a Class Action Law Suit. It’s better to file both a personal case and have others file a class action law suit. Charles E. Campbell, Black Race Man, MSW Founder & CEO
