Officer Jean Severe, part of a Newark violent crime initiative and deputized by the U.S. Marshals Service, was suspended without pay in 2024 following a botched operation in East Orange. Severe, along with four other officers, challenged the disciplinary actions, citing procedural errors and questioning the authority of the public safety director. They argued that the discipline could impact their federal deputization and the effectiveness of their task forces. The case is pending a fact-finding hearing at the state Office of Administrative Law.
