The Guardian reports that former FBI Chicago chief Douglas DePodesta is suing the Department of Justice, alleging he was pressured during Operation Midway Blitz to pursue "politically motivated" investigations and was unlawfully forced out after blaming US attorney Andrew Boutros for the failed prosecution of the Broadview Six anti-ICE protesters. His suit names FBI director Kash Patel and attorney general Todd Blanche, alleges defamation and due process violations, and says only about 6% of Boutros's protest cases ended in guilt; the DOJ and FBI did not respond to inquiries.
