It’s not considered wrongful where I live (major metro area in the south). It is standard practice. Prosecutors and deputies are regularly let go in large numbers based on political affiliation when a new DA or Sheriff takes office. It’s just considered part of the job around here.
Employment discrimination suits aren’t brought by DAs or public prosecutors? And yes, in general, a DA could force out staff that refuse to comply with their agenda. That happens all the time because it is a political role. Biden doesn’t have to keep Trump appointees, same principle. But the guy at the gas station fired for voting for Biden? He can sue
California, New York and DC are the only places with laws that explicitly cite firing for political opinion. There are no federal laws protecting people from employers who want to fire someone for that. You’d have to make a case that you were ACTUALLY fired for being part of a protected class.
