Anybody can sue anyone else for anything at any time. That is not the question. The question to ask is (a) do I have a legal basis to sue; and (b) if I sue am I likely to prevail; and (c) what damages can I recover and is the cost to file suit justified by the recovery?

For the answers to that, I suggest that you consult with a defamation/civil rights attorney to see whether what you have is actionable.
