At least three prosecutors with the U.S. attorneyrCOs office in Minnesota
have resigned over their concerns with the direction of the
investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, a person familiar with the resignations told NBC News on Tuesday.
The person confirmed the resignations of Joseph Thompson, Melinda
Williams and another attorney. The two named attorneys, Thompson and
Williams, did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment by NBC
News.
The attorneys had felt pressure from Justice Department leadership, both
in Minneapolis and in Washington, to investigate any ties to activist
groups by Good and her widow, said a law enforcement official with
knowledge of their decisions. The official said the prosecutors were
also concerned about a decision to cut out state and local authorities
from the federal investigation.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Thompson was a rCLprincipled public servantrCY
who spent more than a decade in law enforcement in the state.
rCLThis is a huge loss for our state,rCY Walz said of the resignations.
rCLThis is the latest sign that President Trump is pushing nonpartisan
career professionals out of the Department of Justice.rCY
