Accordingly, we hold that sections 3617 and 3604, which were in effect in 1995, truly would have compelled a reasonable public official in Moran's position to conclude that federal law prohibited firing an employee for refusing to rent public housing in a racially discriminatory manner. See 42 U.S.C. §§ 3604(b), 3617; see also Jenkins, 115 F.3d at 823. Alternatively, we hold that section 100.400(c)(3), promulgated under the Fair Housing Act and also in effect in 1995, compels the same conclusion. Accordingly, we conclude that if Gonzalez's evidence regarding Moran's conduct and motivation is sufficient to withstand summary judgement under Rule 56, the conduct would violate clearly established federal law, and Moran, therefore, would not be entitled to qualified immunity.45 2.
