Prosecutor Resignations

Prosecutors Flee Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office Amid DOJ Pressure

Eight additional federal prosecutors in Minnesota are preparing to leave the U.S. Attorney’s Office, following the recent departures of six senior officials. These exits reportedly stem from mounting pressure from the Department of Justice (DOJ) to pursue an investigation into Renee Good’s widow, despite a lack of apparent illegal actions on her part. Internal frustrations are also attributed to the office’s handling of the killings of Good and Alex Pretti, with notable resignations including civil division chief Ana Voss. The DOJ has referenced a memo regarding attorneys undermining the constitutional order by refusing to advance good-faith arguments.

Minnesota Prosecutors Resign En Masse, Leaving Pam Bondi With Vacancies

More than a dozen federal prosecutors in Minnesota have resigned in protest of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement policies. This exodus, triggered in part by the Department of Justice’s refusal to investigate the killings of U.S. citizens by immigration agents, has significantly depleted the office’s staff. The departing attorneys also raised concerns about being pressured to rush charges and the lack of consideration for the conduct of federal agents. This has led to a reduction in the experienced legal staff available to handle cases, with the office now relying on less experienced attorneys and facing an influx of wrongful detention cases.
