What is the immediate impact of Jocelyn Samuels's dismissal from the EEOC on the agency's operations and its ability to enforce anti-discrimination laws?

Jocelyn Samuels, a commissioner at the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), was fired by President Trump seven days after his inauguration. The White House cited Samuels's support for DEI initiatives and refusal to "defend women against extreme gender ideology" as reasons for her dismissal. This action has left the EEOC without a quorum, hindering its ability to function effectively.
