"There's no substitute for the human capital in that office,"
"We're losing not just knowledge, the kind of thing that's on a transcript, but also a trained prosecutor's impression of how strong a particular witness is for example, what their relationships are with others, the things that are in Joe Thompson's head that no one else knows,"
"Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: We are here to love each other, care for each other and keep each other safe and whole,"
Six prosecutors resigned from the U.S. attorney's office in Minnesota after the Department of Justice planned an investigation tied to the shooting death of 37-year-old Renee Good by an ICE agent. The departures include former First Assistant U.S. Attorney Joseph H. Thompson, who led a major Medicaid fraud prosecution that produced 58 convictions and recovered evidence of $300 million stolen from child nutrition programs. Other departures include Tom Calhoun-Lopez, who helped secure murder and racketeering convictions of gang members, and Melinda Williams, who oversaw the criminal division. Legal observers warn the losses remove key institutional knowledge, witness assessments, and case continuity. Renee and her spouse Becca encountered ICE agents on Jan. 7 after dropping their child off at school.
