Star Tribune: 8 more federal prosecutors leaving Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office
Star Tribune: 8 more federal prosecutors leaving Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office
Eight more federal prosecutors in Minnesota are “in the process of leaving” the U.S. Attorney’s Office, according to reporting from the Star Tribune.
Their exit comes after six prosecutors, including Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, recently announced their decision to leave due to mounting pressure from the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate Renee Good’s widow.
5 EYEWITNESS NEWS is working to independently confirm the reports from the Star Tribune.
Ana Voss is one of the eight prosecutors included in this second wave of resignations, the Star Tribune reported. Voss, the civil division chief, was the point person for the majority of wrongful detention petitions the office has been dealing with, of which there have been hundreds.
As reported by KSTP, the New York Times initially said the DOJ pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of Renee Good’s widow on the day she was shot and killed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross. Good’s wife was seen on video engaging with Ross before the shooting, but none of her actions in the widely shared video appeared to be illegal.

14 federal prosecutors resigning in protest in just over a month. One wonders if the US Attorney's Office in Minnesota can still function adequately.
