DOJ leaders resign after Trump team blocks probe of ICE killing

At least four senior Justice Department officials resigned in protest after the Trump administration declined to investigate the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good by an ICE officer in Minneapolis, according to multiple sources. The departures from the Civil Rights Division’s criminal section signal deep frustration with Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s decision to forgo a probe into whether the officer unlawfully used deadly force, despite video evidence contradicting administration claims. The mass exit marks the most significant DOJ resignation wave since Trump’s return to office and underscores growing internal dissent over what critics say is a pattern of shielding law enforcement tied to the administration’s aggressive immigration agenda.
