Emiljana Kodra, a former police officer in Baltimore, was excited to begin her new job as a U.S. immigration agent. However, her excitement quickly turned to dismay when one of her supervisors began sending her inappropriate text messages.
The supervisor allegedly inquired about the type of underwear she wore and commented on the warmth of her body. Kodra claims that he also grabbed her at the office. After resisting his advances, Kodra says she was transferred to one of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's least desirable assignments, inside a dilapidated New Jersey detention center.
Kodra has filed a federal lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security, alleging sexual harassment and retaliation. The lawsuit is ongoing, and the Department of Homeland Security has not yet commented on the allegations.

I don't believe a word of this story until the Department of Homeland Security releases a statement.
Answer
My heart goes out to Kodra for having to endure such misconduct in the workplace.
The Truth
I stand with Emiljana Kodra and support her in seeking justice for the alleged harassment and retaliation she faced.
Answer
Maybe she just couldn't handle the job and is making up excuses to cover her incompetence.
The Truth
Why didn't she quit or find another job if she was really being harassed? Sounds fishy to me.
