The departures add to the already significant exodus of veteran attorneys from the office there in recent weeks.

They come as the Trump administration continues its ramped-up immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, where federal agents have shot and killed two U.S.

citizens this month, Renee Macklin Good and Alex Preddy.

At least six federal prosecutors in the U.S.

attorney's office there recently quit after the Justice Department pressured them to investigate Good's widow.

Ryan Wedding represented Canada at the 2002 Winter Olympics.

He was indicted in the United States in 2024 on federal criminal charges including cocaine conspiracy and murder.

Prosecutors allege that Wedding heads a drug trafficking network that has shipped massive amounts of cocaine to the United States and Canada and has orchestrated multiple murders to further its drug business.

The FBI added Wedding to its top 10 most wanted fugitive list in March, and in November, the State Department upped the reward money for information leading to his arrest to $15 million.

Now, Attorney General Pam Bondi says Wedding is in custody and has been flown to the United States to face justice.

Five of the counts against Aurelio Perez-Lugones are for the transmission of national defense information, with a sixth count for the unlawful retention of it.

The indictment says between October and January, Perez-Lugones repeatedly removed classified information from his workplace and provided it to a reporter.

Some of that classified information then turned up in at least five articles written or co-authored by the reporter.

The indictment does not name the journalist, but it is known to be Hannah Natanson of the Washington Post.

The FBI searched Nathanson's home last week as a part of the investigation, a move that sparked concern among free press advocates.
