Ordinarily you’d need ground for dismissal, yes. But one of the first things Trump did was follow the plan for Project 2025 which included, amongst other things, reclassifying a fuck ton of government jobs as political jobs, enabling Trump to hire and fire people for political reasons.
In almost everywhere in the US, you can fire anyone, at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all, as long as it’s not because of membership in a protected class (age, sex, gender, national origin, etc.). (Or, obviously, if there’s union or other rules around it.)
There is a process for suing the federal government for wrongful termination, but idk how it would work when you’re dealing with the actual Justice Department
The Justice Department can be sued. You don’t need them on your side in order to file a lawsuit. How far the Supreme Court will go to rubber stamp it is an open question. And by the time it gets resolved one way or another it’ll be way past the firing.
Fired on what grounds? Can a suit, perhaps many, be filed for wrongful termination?

Government jobs are like the one place where that isn’t true.
Not anymore :(
