In a major update to an ongoing story, five federal prosecutors in Minnesota’s U.S. Attorney’s Office, including Joseph Thompson, who has been leading major probes into welfare fraud, were formally fired by the DOJ under AG Pam Bondi and DAG Todd Blanche after submitting resignations amid clashes over the ICE shooting of anti-ICE activist Renee Good when she allegedly tried to run over an ICE agent.
For context, Thompson supported framing the incident as an obstruction of law enforcement, believing it was justified. However, he opposed probing Good’s widow or potential co-conspirators. The FBI has taken a leading role in the probe, sidelining state authorities and acting to protect ICE.
Explaining her reasoning, AG Pam Bondi spoke out in a segment on Fox News. “We had six prosecutors who suddenly decided they didn’t want to support the men and women in ICE. One of them was busy doing a photo shoot with the New York Times while ice was out there risking their lives,” she explained.
Continuing her comments, she added, “So they came and 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.”
Wrapping up her comments, she not only confirmed the rumors but praised loyal officials. “So the breaking news tonight, I fired them all. They’re fired from the office and our US. Attorney there, Rosen, he’s great. He was just confirmed three months ago,” Bondi declared.
Reacting to the dramatic clip, one user broke down the statement. “AG Pam Bondi reveals she FIRED six DOJ prosecutors in Minnesota because they no longer supported ICE and demanded taxpayers pay for a VACATION,” the viral post read.
Reacting, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz freaked out about Thompson’s resignation.”Joe is a principled public servant who spent more than a decade achieving justice for Minnesotans. This is a huge loss for our state… It’s also the latest sign Trump is pushing nonpartisan career professionals out of the justice department, replacing them with his sycophants,” he alleged.

For context, Becca Good, Renee Macklin Good’s wife, spoke with local media about the event. “She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn’t wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time,” she alleged.
Continuing her comments, the woman stated, “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,” adding, “We had whistles. They had guns.”

Closing her remarks with a tasteless political screed, Good raved, “We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.”
