<p>U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday fired Pamela Hicks, the general counsel for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).</p>
<p>&#8220;Earlier today, I was served official notice from the Attorney General of the United States that I was being removed from my position as the Chief Counsel of ATF and my employment with the Department of Justice terminated,&#8221; Hicks said in a statement on social media confirming the news.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have had the privilege of serving in the federal civil service for almost 28 years, including 23 as an attorney for the Department of Justice,&#8221; Hicks continued. &#8220;Serving as ATF Chief Counsel has been the highest honor of my career and working with the people at ATF and throughout the Department has been a pleasure.&#8221;</p>
<p>Gun Owners of America said that Hicks &#8220;oversaw the enforcement of every Biden infringement of the Second Amendment since taking the position in 2021.&#8221;</p>

<p>The news comes after the FBI&#8217;s general counsel resigned earlier this month as the Trump administration seeks fresh faces to serve in key positions over the next four years, The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/02/20/atf-general-counsel-fired-pam-hicks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>The firing comes after President Donald Trump ordered this week that all remaining Biden-era United States Attorneys be fired — a move that is common when a new administration takes over.</p>
<p>“Over the past four years, the Department of Justice has been politicized like never before,” Trump wrote on social media. “Therefore, I have instructed the termination of ALL remaining ‘Biden Era’ U.S. Attorneys. We must ‘clean house’ IMMEDIATELY, and restore confidence. America’s Golden Age must have a fair Justice System — THAT BEGINS TODAY!”</p>
