Six federal prosecutors, including Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, resigned Tuesday amid mounting pressure to investigate the widow of Renee Good, the New York Times reports.

At least six career prosecutors in the Minneapolis U.S. Attorney's office have resigned as the office continues to face pressure to treat the investigation of the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by an ICE officer​ as an assault on a federal officer case.

Joseph “Joe” Thompson and six other senior Minnesota prosecutors resigned over the DOJ’s decision to investigate Renee Good’s widow while declining to probe the ICE agent who killed her. Thompson objected to excluding state authorities and warned the move undermined trust and derailed major fraud investigations amid a sweeping immigration crackdown.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz faces backlash after praising departing prosecutor Joe Thompson, despite calling for his firing just one week earlier.

Thompson was also the lead prosecutor in the Feeding Our Future case, a COVID-era $250 million scheme that targeted programs that were meant to feed schoolchildren. WCCO has reached out for comment from Thompson on the nature of his no longer being with the department.
