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.
Oh, totally fair, i kind of figured that was your concern. Just telling you where to find it. Also, giving an explanation as to why the CIA is being cited, and why it is actually much more reasonable than trying to take anything the modern CIA would produce at face value.
That being said, the document demonstrates an almost farcical lack of care for the safety of the saboteur, giving many suggestions which surely, even at that time, must have been near-guaranteed to lead to capture of the saboteur.
That’s probably why the CIA shares the information. Makes catching opposition easier when they commit actions that have serious safety flaws.
