The U.S. Attorney's Office in Minnesota is reportedly "deteriorating" and been left "seriously hobbled" in the fallout of Donald Trump's deportation surge, according to Politico, with usually military-focused JAG lawyers being called in to help handle cases. Amid the ongoing legal fallout, Politico reported on Wednesday that the state's U.S. Attorney's office is dwindling in the face of resignations, which may continue in the near future. “Basically, what has been happening in slow motion with the Justice Department over a year hit the U.S. Attorney’s Office within a matter of days,” Lillehaug told Politico. Lillehaug lamented that this push to bolster the Minnesota office will see prosecutors pulled from "critical investigations and cases," including "white-collar or... narcotics or firearms" cases. “There will be a great deal of suspicion, especially with those who have not separated themselves from DHS and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.”
