TL;DR Summary

At least six career prosecutors in the Minneapolis U.S. Attorney's Office have resigned amid pressure to treat the investigation of Renee Good's fatal shooting by an ICE officer as an assault on a federal officer rather than a civil rights case; the departures include Acting U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson and five others, with sources saying the resignations followed concerns about requests to probe Good's widow and the case's framing. Officials described the moves as a blow to the office's credibility, drawing reactions from Gov. Walz and Sen. Klobuchar as broader questions about politics and justice unfold in Minnesota.
