A former top official for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) has filed a whistleblower lawsuit accusing the agency and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis of retaliating against him. Shane Desguin, former chief of staff, alleges that he was forced to resign after refusing to comply with directives he believed violated the law or were inappropriate.
The 16-page lawsuit filed in Leon County Circuit Court outlines Desguin's claims of misconduct by FDLE and Governor DeSantis. These include allegations of privacy rights violations of migrants, withholding public records, and calling for arrests of neo-Nazi protesters in potential violation of their First Amendment rights.
