Three prosecutors resign amid push for investigation into ICE shooting victims widow

At least four federal prosecutors have resigned from their positions, including Minnesota’s top prosecutor, Joe Thompson. The resignations are linked to a Department of Justice (DOJ) push to investigate the widow of Renee Good, who was shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers in 2017.

According to reports, six prosecutors have quit over the DOJ’s investigation into Good’s death. The investigation is focused on whether the ICE agents involved in the shooting followed proper procedures.

Thompson, who led the federal fraud prosecution unit in Minnesota, has also resigned due to the investigation. His departure comes amid concerns about the DOJ’s handling of sensitive cases involving law enforcement agencies.

The resignations have raised questions about the DOJ’s approach to investigating allegations against its own agents. The agency has faced criticism for its handling of high-profile cases, including those involving ICE and other federal law enforcement agencies.

Details of the investigation into Good’s death are still emerging. However, it is clear that the DOJ’s push to investigate the shooting has led to a significant number of resignations among prosecutors who were involved in the case.

The exact reasons for the resignations remain unclear, but sources suggest that some prosecutors felt pressured to leave due to the intense scrutiny surrounding the investigation. The DOJ has not commented on the specific circumstances surrounding the resignations or the investigation into Good’s death.

As the investigation continues, it remains to be seen how it will impact the DOJ’s approach to handling sensitive cases involving law enforcement agencies.
