Employer took back a spot bonus after it was already paid because I gave 2 weeks notice.

Two weeks ago I put in my notice of resignation to my employer. The following day I received the results of my bonus payouts and my raise. On this day I was paid a spot bonus of $2500 for exemplary performance during 2021. I have a letter documenting this. Today I received my normal bonus that was metric based deposited into my account. When I looked at my paystub it seemed off. I then noticed that they deducted the $2500 spot bonus from my pay that they gave me last pay period-essentially taking it back. I am not sure if this even legal (I'll be checking). Friday was to be my last day but I am about to go into work and pack all my shit up and leave before my boss gets there. I was thinking about how I could get some retribution before I left (legally of course)…

Friday was to be my last day but I am about to go into work and pack all my shit up and leave before my boss gets there. I was thinking about how I could get some retribution before I left (legally of course) Any suggestions?

Some additional context. I am part of management and I am leaving due to toxic environment, intimidation tactics my boss uses and the constant pressure she puts everyone under. The company name is Thales DIS located in the USA.
