I think it is advisable to contact an attorney.

Just a note - what happened to you is not "wrongful termination" - that usually happens when discrimination is a factor.

Most states in the USA follow the doctrine that employees work-at-will of the other party and employers work-at-will of the employee. SO you are free to leave that relationship at any time.

That your personal property got all caught up in it - is exactly why I don't work those kinds of jobs. No way is my boss gonna tell me where and when I live.

It's probably legal to fire you - it's probably not legal to evict you like that.
