At least six prosecutors in the Minnesota U.S. Attorney's Office have resigned over the investigation into the ICE killing of Renee Good.

Saint Paul

Six prosecutors from Minnesota's US Attorney's Office have resigned after the office was assigned to investigate the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good. Among those who resigned is Joe Thompson, known for his work on social program fraud cases. The resignations coincide with a lawsuit filed by state and local officials against the Trump administration, alleging that ICE agents are using illegal and aggressive tactics that threaten public safety and have led to increased unrest and costs for local law enforcement.

Community tensions remain high in Minneapolis, with ongoing protests and a significant federal agent presence. Observers have reported aggressive ICE activity, including detentions and a heavy law enforcement response, while President Trump has announced additional federal deployments to the state. The Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division has also seen resignations in protest over the handling of the investigation.

Six prosecutors in Minnesota resign over ICE shooting investigation

New developments in the aftermath of the deadly ice shooting that killed Minnesota resident Renee Good. At least six prosecutors in the state's US Attorney's Office have now resigned. This is in the wake of the office being tasked with the investigating the shooting. Joe Thompson is included in that list of resignations. Thompson led the effort to probe widespread fraud in Minnesota's social programs, securing more than 60 convictions in just the last year. Now this comes as state and local officials have filed a lawsuit. Against the Trump administration over its immigration enforcement, the lawsuit alleges ice agents are threatening public safety. Let's bring in CBS News correspondent Lana Zach who is live for us in Minneapolis. Lana, what else can you tell us? Hi there, Liz. In addition to those resignations that you mentioned, the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division is also seeing more resignations in protest into how this investigation into the shooting death of Renee Good unfolded. And and we are also learning more about the details of that lawsuit by the state of Minnesota against federal agents. They allege that the federal agents here are using illegal and aggressive tactics against the residents. They say that it is creating a culture of unrest and that the local law enforcement is unable to keep the peace. They're also looking at additional costs for them somewhere around $2 million over the span of just four days. So there is a lot of protests. There are a lot of additional agents that are here and all of that is creating something of a tinderbox. And different sides are hoping that that can be deescalated. And Lana, from what I understand, you're coming to us live from Minneapolis, but you're actually standing at a memorial for Renee Good at the location where she was killed by that ice age. And I'm seeing several people behind you. Leave flowers and notes for her. What do you hear from the community? Well, we've been speaking with lots of people, including just moments ago with a another protester who was detained for about 8 hours by federal agents after she was following, she said that they were honking their horn and blowing whistles and that was the extent of what they were doing to try and alert their neighborhood that ice agents were around. We also was just a block from here. Witnessed ice activity as many agents took somebody into custody. Many of those agents were wearing gas masks and I spoke with a community organizer who was there about what she was doing and what she was witnessing. Several observers told me that this man was driving his car down 35th and for I don't know if I spoke him over or what exactly happened, but his car was pulled over to the side and they apparently took him out of his car and the car was left there. Ice drove away with this man. And the president posted on true social earlier that the day of reckoning is coming for Minnesota. Trying to understand exactly what that means where we have questions out to the president on that, but we do know. That more federal agents are on their way and just to give you a sense of the scope of the federal presence here, Liz. There are a little bit more than 1000 police officers in the Twin Cities PD, but there are more than 2000 federal agents and officers and all of that is before we're seeing these additional resources coming in. So we went to the Whipple Federal building and we just monitored how many agents cars were coming in and out of there and in the span of 30 minutes, we witnessed more than 101 cars. Most of them having multiple agents in them. Almost all of them wearing masks. Liz Lana Zach. Thank you so much.
