flag Over 20 prosecutors quit Minnesota’s U.S. Attorney’s Office over political interference, crippling prosecutions and releasing dangerous defendants.

flag Over 20 career prosecutors have left the Minnesota U.S. Attorney’s Office in protest against political interference, particularly over immigration enforcement and the handling of sensitive cases, reducing staff from over 40 to fewer than two dozen. flag This staffing crisis has led to dropped cases, delays, and the release of high-risk defendants like Cory Allen McKay, a 12-time convicted felon with a violent history, after his drug trafficking charges were dismissed. flag The office now struggles to prosecute serious crimes, relying on temporary hires and court delays, while defense attorneys exploit the chaos. flag Legal experts warn the weakening undermines public safety and the rule of law, with similar issues emerging in other states. flag The Justice Department and U.S. Attorney’s Office have not commented.
