Pam Bondi Faces Minnesota Prosecutor Revolt As New Wave Of Departures Hits In Droves
Minnesota’s federal justice system is on the verge of collapse as prosecutors quit in record numbers. The U.S. Attorney’s office has shrunk from 50 lawyers to fewer than 20, leaving rookie replacements to handle high-stakes criminal cases.
The Crisis at a Glance:
• The Mass Walkout: Eight veteran attorneys have resigned or announced plans to leave, citing “selective prosecution” and the DOJ’s refusal to investigate federal agents who shot civilians, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.
• THE NUMBERS: What used to be a criminal division of 50+ attorneys has shriveled to fewer than 20. At least eight lawyers have quit recently, following a wave of resignations last month. 🚶♂️💨
• THE BREAKING POINT: Tensions boiled over following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer. Local officials were reportedly blocked from investigating, and the DOJ initially refused to open a civil rights probe into the killing.
• “SELECTIVE PROSECUTION”: One retiring attorney called out the department’s current direction, as the office is now being buried under hundreds of wrongful detention cases.
• THE BONDI BACKLASH: After the first wave of exits, AG Pam Bondi went on Fox News claiming she “fired” the prosecutors for not supporting ICE, but insiders say the “fresh humiliation” is that the departures haven’t stopped—they’re accelerating. 📺🔥
