Chapter 1: What recent events led to the resignations in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota?
Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Ryland Barton. Three more employees at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota have quit. The resignations are in addition to the at least six prosecutors who quit earlier this month after the Justice Department pressured them to investigate the widow of a woman killed by an ICE agent. NPR's Ryan Lucas reports.
The three new resignations at the U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota include a division chief. 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. Meanwhile, an FBI agent who tried to investigate Good's killing... resigned last week after being pressured to drop the matter.
