Text: Plaintiff Johane Tillery (“Tillery”) worked as a transportation security officer for the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”), an agency within the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”), at the Palm Beach International Airport (“PBIA”). In February 2006, Tillery complained that her manager, Larry Davis, had sexually harassed her. As a result Davis was transferred from PBIA. In March 2006, Tillery requested a transfer to an airport in Tucson, Arizona. On April 13, 2006, her request was approved. However, on May 5, 2006, after the Arizona facility spoke to Tillery’s PBIA supervisors, Tillery was told that she could not transfer to the Arizona facility. On June 7, 2006, Tillery was terminated. Tillery’s complaint alleged that her PBIA supervisors gave false information to the Arizona facility in retaliation for her sexual harassment complaint against Davis and later terminated her in retaliation, too. 1 Civil Rights Act of 1964, § 701 et seq., as amended by Civil Rights Act of 1991, § 104 et seq., 42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq.
