""Six prosecutors suddenly decided they didn't want to support the men and women in ICE," she told Fox News, adding: "So they came, they said, 'We want to resign, but we want to use our annual leave up until April,' meaning they wanted the taxpayers to pay for them to go on vacation because they decided they didn't want to support law enforcement. "So, the breaking news tonight: I fired them all. They're fired from the office.""
""One of them actually, in 2022, defended BLM [Black Lives Matter] when they burned down a pawn shop, and someone was murdered. "They want to be part of the resistance? Bring it on. They're not going to be working for Donald Trump and the Department of Justice any longer... Good riddance to the six that are gone.""
Pam Bondi dismissed six federal prosecutors who had asked to resign after the Department of Justice opened an investigation into Becca Good, the wife of Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on 7 January 2026. The DOJ sought to link Becca Good to criminal associations and anti-movement groups. Joseph H. Thompson departed, followed by senior prosecutors Harry Jacobs, Melinda Williams, and Thomas Calhoun-Lopez. Bondi accused the prosecutors of interviewing at liberal law firms, refusing to support ICE, using annual leave to avoid duty, and announced their firing. The Trump administration labeled the shooting "domestic terrorism" and accused Good of "stalking and impeding," alleging use of her vehicle as a weapon against ICE officers.
