Nine anonymous FBI agents have filed a lawsuit against the US Department of Justice, claiming that the Trump administration's initiatives to identify bureau officials involved in January 6-related cases could endanger them and their families. They assert that such actions could potentially reveal their identities, violating their First and Fifth amendment rights. The plaintiffs request a court order to prevent the publication of a list of FBI agents and personnel. They note that over 6,000 individuals could fall under this legal suit, indicating the widespread impact of the DOJ's investigation efforts.
The lawsuit filed by nine FBI agents claims that investigations into the January 6 cases could expose them to retribution from convicted felons.
The plaintiffs argue that the DOJ's efforts to identify agents involved in the January 6 cases infringe upon their constitutional rights.
More than 6,000 FBI staff could potentially be affected by the lawsuit, which seeks to block any identification of agents involved with these cases.
The agents express concern that the publication of identifying information could compromise their safety and lead to adverse employment actions.
