Adirim, who served as the director of the CIA Centers for Global Health Services, alleges that her termination was a direct result of being targeted by a political extremist after she played a key role in implementing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for military personnel. Her lawyer argues that this targeting led to severe injustices for Adirim and her family. The activist Ivan Raiklin, who is associated with the list, has <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">publicly expressed hostility<\/a> toward Adirim, asserting that she should face legal consequences for her actions related to the vaccine mandate. The lawsuit highlights issues of political extremism and workplace retaliation against federal employees.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">CIA fired its top doctor after she appeared on &lsquo;Deep State Target List&rsquo;: Lawsuit<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2112434\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>A lawsuit filed by a fired <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/cia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"CIA\">CIA<\/a> doctor claims she was booted from her job by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"CIA\">Trump administration<\/a> after she was placed on a &ldquo;Deep State Target List&rdquo; by a right-wing activist.<\/p>\n<p>Terry Adirim was fired from her job as the director of the CIA Centers for Global Health Services earlier this year, after she had taken the job late last year.
