More resignations of federal prosecutors are expected at the US Attorney’s Office in Minnesota amid ongoing frustration over the Trump administration’s response to the fatal shooting of Renée Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.
“I have heard there may be more people leaving, people I would consider senior and respected career prosecutors,” said Anders Folk, a former acting US attorney in Minnesota, who left the office in 2021 to work for the Justice Department in Washington, DC, under former President Biden.
Minnesota Federal Defender Katherian Roe, in a staffwide email obtained by the Sahan Journal, also wrote that “more resignations are anticipated” at the US Attorney’s Office. “It’s a sign that something is not right” there, added Folk, who is still in touch with colleagues in the office and is now running for Hennepin County Attorney.
Already this week, at least five federal prosecutors in Minnesota announced their resignations. Among them was the office’s second-in-command, Joseph Thompson, who was overseeing the welfare fraud investigation involving Somali immigrants that President Trump used as a pretext to send his immigration force to Minneapolis.
Replacing prosecutors is going to be harder than just giving any idiot who applies tactical gear and letting them do whatever they want.
No, it truly isn’t. They don’t care even about the illusion of competancy.
They literally illegally gave technofascistass surveillance execs high ranking positions in the U.S. military with zero experience or training just because they got paid. They gave vibe coder teenagers full access to US social security. They put an alcoholic white supremecist in charge of the whole military.
They will replace prosecutors with maga loyalists that maybe completed 1 year or law school and those prosecutors will do a horrible job (just like almost every person they installed in the past decade) but the important part is that when the time comes for the “pro quo”, they do their part and become yes men.
And yet again, the democrats will, with corporate cum still on their lips, do nothing, even symbolic, as is tradition, even when they had the power to do something.
A prosecutor has to successfully convince judges and juries. Giving that job to any idiot that applies will not result in successful judgements.
