Live: Eight more federal prosecutors set to leave the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office

Source: The Minnesota Star Tribune

Eight additional federal prosecutors are in the process of leaving the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation.

The departures follow the mass exit of six veteran prosecutors who left the office last month in protest of recent directives from the U.S. Department of Justice, including the department’s refusal to initiate a civil rights investigation into the killing of Renee Good.

Among those leaving is Ana Voss, the civil division chief, who has been helping to handle hundreds of wrongful detention petitions flooding the office since federal officers began their immigration crackdown in Minnesota.

On Monday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced all federal agents in Minnesota would be given body worn cameras “effective immediately.”

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi also announced that two more people have been arrested over an anti-ICE demonstration in a St. Paul church last month.

I don't care if they are federal employees or not. They need to be prosecuted where Dump can't pardon them. Let em sit in a state prison.
