Matthew
Fogg is a retired Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal with 32 years of public
service and a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice. He’s also
known as the federal agent who challenged the blue wall of silence
inside the U.S. Department of Justice (US-DOJ) and won. His District of
Columbia federal court victory in 1998, which resulted in a jury award
of $4 million for exposing race discrimination and retaliatory tactics
by the DOJ, was a landmark civil rights judgement against the agency.
Marshal
Fogg has received major awards from the director of the U.S. Marshals
Service (USMS), the District of Columbia U.S. Attorney and the Federal
Bar Association for outstanding service above and beyond the call of
duty”: directing the arrest of over 300 of America’s most wanted
fugitives charged with murder, rape, child molestation, hate crimes,
prison escape, terrorism, illegal drugs and more in the U.S. and
overseas.
He supervised federal, state and municipal police
dragnets in major cities across America, clearing thousands of warrants
and confiscating millions of dollars in proceeds from crimes. He was a
team leader in the U.S. Marshals Service Special Operations Group (SOG) –
an elite S.W.A.T team that assisted the Los Angeles police department
in quelling riots in the wake of the Rodney King police beating. Marshal
Fogg played a pivotal role in the extradition of Manuel Noriega from
Panama to Miami, FL. on federal drug charges, ending the Atlanta
Penitentiary hostage takeover and participating as a first responder at
the FBI Command Center in Washington D.C. following the death of his
Special Operations Group commander on Ruby Ridge in Idaho.
He
was honored by NASA as a “First Responder” for rescue and recovery
operations after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centers on
September 11, 2001. He is a formerly trained U.S. Marshal Service Equal
Employment Opportunity collateral duty official who successfully
represented many government employees in the administrative EEO
complaint adjudication process. He co-chaired the NOFEAR Coalition,
which was responsible for presenting the federal law known as the
Notification and Federal Employees Anti-discrimination & Retaliation
Act. The law was signed by President George W. Bush in 2002.
He
is Class Agent in {Fogg. et. al vs Eric Holder / U.S. DOJ}, pending
before the U.S. EEO Commission, representing hundreds of Black U.S.
Marshals nationwide. He is campaigning for public office in the state of
Maryland and writing a book, “Bigots with Badges”, which will provide
an in-depth look at racism in law enforcement and his battle with the
DOJ. He often appears on CNN, NBC, CBS, FOX5, C-Span, syndicated radio
as a special commentator and has been showcased in print news
publications across the country.
The interview was conducted November 2, 2015.
