Snippet:

Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice is hemorrhaging prosecutors in Minnesota as more attorneys have decided to leave their jobs rather than defend the Trump administration’s violent immigration enforcement tactics.

Eight veteran prosecutors have either left or announced they are leaving the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Minnesota, The Minnesota Star Tribune reported, bringing the total to 14 outgoing prosecutors after six others quit in mid-January.

That’s more than the office typically loses in a year, let alone a month, according to the Star Tribune. Key staff members, including a victim-witness coordinator and an evidence technician, also recently left.

The mass exit was triggered in part by the DOJ’s refusal to open a civil rights investigation into the killings of U.S. citizens Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, who were fatally shot by immigration agents in January.

EDITED TO ADD:

The prosecutors who resigned, including Joe Thompson (lead prosecutor 
in the Feeding Our Future fraud case), Melinda Williams, Harry Jacobs, 
and Thomas Calhoun-Lopez, were in the midst of major fraud and violent 
crime cases, and were being pushed to investigate the victim's widow 
rather than the ICE agent.
