A high-ranking civilian employee with the Chicago Police Department is suing the city after he was suspended for 14 days without pay for a pair of posts he made to his personal Facebook account while attending a “No Kings” protest last year.
Mike Milstein, the deputy director of CPD’s Office of Equity and Engagement, posted the messages during the October 18, 2025, demonstration while he was in Denver for a conference, according to a federal lawsuit reviewed by The Independent.
