A former Florida law enforcement official, Shane Desguin, has filed a lawsuit against Governor Ron DeSantis and his top aides, alleging he was forced to retire after refusing to carry out orders he claims were illegal or inappropriate. The lawsuit, filed overnight, includes accusations of violations of state public records laws, illegal orders to arrest demonstrators without probable cause, and directives to obtain photos and personal information of migrants flown to Florida. DeSantis' chief of staff has also been accused of using a personal cell phone to conduct state business, with DeSantis' lawyers arguing that the phone logs are not public records despite past rulings. Desguin, who has been labeled a whistleblower, also claims that DeSantis and his aides opened flimsy investigations and smeared his character. DeSantis' office has pointed to misconduct for Desguin's termination but has not commented on the alleged directives.
