CBS NEWS EXCLUSIVE: David Maltinsky, a 16-year FBI employee who was weeks away from being elevated to the position of agent, filed a lawsuit alleging he was fired because he had a Pride flag draped near his desk. "I knew I was on a list," he told CBS News' @MacFarlaneNews. "There was fear after the administration came in that they were going to start looking at all of our personnel files, where some of us did self-identify our sexual orientation, some people did identify as trans. So there was fear early on that DOGE was going to collect this and they were going to curate a list and get rid of 'the undesirables.'"
The FBI had no comment regarding Maltinsky's lawsuit. Watch more of the interview tonight on the "CBS Evening News."
So far, the ICE gang has shot & killed an unarmed man & lied about the circumstances; shot a woman 5 times for obstructing their vehicle; roughed up elderly women and zip-tied small children; shot a clergyman in the face with a pepper ball; marched through downtown Chicago, masked and armed.
And they're NOT going after the "worst of the worse," as promised. Most of the people they're snagging have clean records. Some are citizens.
To be clear: this is NOT making Chicago safer. It's state-sponsored mayhem; dangerous political theater calculated to provoke.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE. Feds rushed out in a phalanx and pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. Lots of medical folks surrounded me. Bleeding all over. Couldn’t find Richard in the gas. I’m okay. But this was so unprovoked. SO UNPROVOKED.”
She said 4 Portland police officers came to her and were very caring. They are not allowed to engage and have to watch from across the street. An MSNBC photographer said he has been documenting these unprovoked attacks, but the ICE agents recognize him now and block him. She’s fine. Just furious.
She encouraged me to post the incident on Facebook and spread the word. “YES!! People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever. Many people our age, neighbors, etc.” So please share!"
On June 14th Minnesota state senator Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home by a Republican official and nobody was talking about it by the weekend.
