At least six career prosecutors in the Minneapolis U.S. Attorney's
office rCo including Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson rCo have resigned
as the office continues to face pressure to treat the investigation of
the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE officer as an
assault on a federal officer case.

Two sources familiar with the matter tell CBS News the resignations
stemmed from concern over a request to probe Good's widow rCo who was with
her when they encountered the ICE agents rCo as well as the way that the
case is being treated as an assault on a federal officer as opposed to a
civil rights case.

Doug Kelley, a former assistant U.S. attorney for Minnesota, says the
move is a major blow to the credibility of the office moving forward.

"I've been practicing federal criminal law in this state for 51 years
and this is the darkest day in 51 years as far as I can see for the rule
of law in Minnesota," Kelley said. "If they feel the need to resign
because of orders they have gotten that will violate their consciouses,
to me it's a great statement on their part that this is not tolerable by them."

Sen. Amy Klobuchar said on X that "these career public servants have
served our state through multiple tragedies and critical investigations.
We cannot allow prosecutors to be driven by politics. The family and
loved ones of Renee Good deserve justice, not political attacks."

How deep in the gutter can a Republican representative of the people roll?

As deep as "personal morals" allow.
