Overview
- At least four leaders of the Civil Rights Division’s criminal section quit after Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon opted against a separate DOJ criminal investigation of the ICE officer who killed Renee Good.
- The departures include the section chief, principal deputy chief, deputy chief, and acting deputy chief, marking the most significant Justice Department resignation wave since February.
- The FBI is running the federal inquiry exclusively and has barred Minnesota authorities from their customary evidence review role.
- Minnesota, Minneapolis, and Saint Paul filed suit to block the administration’s increased immigration enforcement announced by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
- Video cited by reporters shows Good’s wheels turned away from the officer as shots were fired, even as Vice President J.D. Vance defended the shooting and President Donald Trump inaccurately claimed she ran over the officer.
