I was terminated after I told my employer I was summoned to jury duty

I was just terminated and the only explanation was I wasn’t the right fit. Can they do that?

I suffer from hemeplegic migraines with aura, meaning before a migraine attack I experience partial paralysis on the left side and temporary occular disturbances. Before the new ESA revisions, I was asked to supply a medical note proving that I suffer from migraines the day that I called in sick even though I have had to leave work before for the same thing without any issues. It is also documented by my optometrist that works at our company. I explained that I was unable to go to a physicians office that day. I was written up the next day for failing to provide one, and the only reason I was asked was because a co-worker made up a lie that I was hungover, her statement has since been proven to be untrue. I handed in my two weeks notice on Sunday but had another migraine on Tuesday. I told my manager that I was unable to work that day. Later on that evening, I received a termination letter stating that I had violated company policy, possibly to avoid paying me for my paid sick day or severance. I am also wondering if I am able to file a complaint for being dismissed due to discrimination for my disability.
